Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Innovation, Licensing, and Competition: Evidence From Genetically Engineered Crops
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We provide a novel empirical analysis of the role of technology licensing, between competitors, for genetically engineered (GE) traits in the US seed industry. We extend the standard differentiated‐product Bertrand pricing model to include trait licensing, which permits us to recover marginal costs and (otherwise unobserved) royalty rates ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant viruses are so harmful to crops. It is an urgent need to develop modern, environment‐friendly, and sustainable plant viral epidemic‐management strategies that are safe for both human health and the environment. The field of nanotechnology is gaining increased interest in plant science.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola, is a major destructive disease of apples but research on control measures is limited. Melatonin (MT) is a phytohormone‐like compound that affects plant growth and stress response but is prone to light‐induced degradation, resulting in low stability and efficacy ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses within their hosts are associated with phase separation (PS)‐derived aggregates formed by viral components.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.
