Supporting Agricultural Resilience

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2020
While women in the United States (U.S.) are increasingly entering into or being recognized for their role as farm operators, researchers argue that women farmers have been and continue to be under-recognized and researched.

Rethinking resilient agriculture: From Climate-Smart Agriculture to Vulnerable-Smart Agriculture [PDF]

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021
Abstract Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is seeking to overcome the food security problem and develop rural livelihoods while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. However, when such synergies exist, the situation of small-scale farmers is often overlooked, and they are unable to implement new practices and technologies. Therefore, the main

Identifying Critical Thresholds for Resilient Regional Food Flows: A Case Study From the U.S. Upper Midwest

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Improving the regional organization of food flow requires an understanding of system constraints. System transformation is necessary if the system is to include regional, independent wholesale food suppliers and to distribute food in an equitable and ...

Application of Neutrosophic Statistics in the Integrated Management of Ceratitis Capitata in Ecuador [PDF]

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
This study has addressed the management of Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fly) in Ecuador, focused on mitigating the impact on fruit crops under the influence of climate change and variations in agricultural practices. By using neutrosophic statistics,

CIMBL55: a repository for maize drought resistance alleles

Stress Biology, 2023
Droughts threaten crop yields worldwide. Compared to other major staple cereal crops, maize (Zea mays) is especially sensitive to drought, which can cause dramatic fluctuations in its yield potential.

Treatment with KCL‐286, a first‐in‐class retinoic acid receptor‐β (RARβ) agonist, ameliorates neuronal DNA damage and inflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Repair of neuronal DNA damage in Alzheimer's disease by KCL‐286. (A) Amyloid‐β oligomers and plaques impair neuronal DNA repair pathways, leading to DNA double‐strand breaks and glial activation. (B) KCL‐286 activates RARβ/RXR signalling via retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), associated with increased BRCA1 expression, enhanced DNA repair and ...

KAKU4 regulates leaf senescence through modulation of H3K27me3 deposition in the Arabidopsis genome

BMC Plant Biology
Lamins are the major components of the nuclear lamina, which regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. KAKU4 is a unique nuclear lamina component in the nuclear periphery, modulates nuclear shape and size in Arabidopsis.

Dose‐dependent hepatotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide in HepG2 cells and its modulation by CYP450 induction

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
NMR metabolomics revealed concentration‐dependent metabolic perturbations in HepG2 cells exposed to H2O2. Rifampicin pretreatment enhanced metabolic competence, attenuated toxin‐induced alterations and produced metabolite profiles more consistent with human liver physiology, supporting the use of CYP450‐induced HepG2 models for improved in vitro ...

Nuclear lamina component KAKU4 regulates chromatin states and transcriptional regulation in the Arabidopsis genome

BMC Biology
Background The nuclear lamina links the nuclear membrane to chromosomes and plays a crucial role in regulating chromatin states and gene expression. However, current knowledge of nuclear lamina in plants is limited compared to animals and humans. Results
