Terrestrial Cyborg Insects for Real‐Life Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reviews the development of terrestrial cyborg insects from their emergence in 1997 to mid‐2025, examining three key aspects: locomotion control methods, associated challenges with proposed solutions, and practical applications. Framing these biohybrid systems as insect‐scale mobile robots, the review provides foundational insights for new ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Aging and longevity in decades‐old genebanked seeds from U.S. endangered plant species: Assessments using survival and RNA integrity assays

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Seed longevity is critical for successful genebanking, but it is hard to detect or predict. We examined survival of genebanked seeds from species native to the United States to estimate longevity. We tested whether RNA integrity (RIN) can be used to detect aging and predict mortality. Methods Dry seeds from >100 species were stored for
