Agronomic Performance and Lignin Content of HCT Down-Regulated Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Bioenergy Research, 2018
Lignin is a cell wall polymer that reduces the enzymatic digestibility and conversion efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. Down-regulation of the hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT) gene reduces lignin content ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...
