Buyers' response to third‐party quality certification: Theory and evidence from Ethiopian wheat traders

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract When quality attributes of a product are not directly observable, third‐party certification (TPC) enables buyers to distinguish between quality levels and reward sellers accordingly. We study the adoption of TPC by traders in smallholder‐based agricultural value chains in low‐income countries, where traders aggregate products from many small ...

Species Richness and Community Composition of Ants and Beetles in Bt and non-Bt Maize Fields

open access: yesEnvironmental Entomology, 2019
AbstractInsect-resistant genetically modified (GM) plants have been cultivated in several countries on a large scale. These plants express the Cry toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) (Bt), which confers target-pest resistance to plants.

Movement and Survival of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Neonate Larvae on Cotton Expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Proteins

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spodoptera litura neonates showed increased movement on Bt‐expressing Bollgard 3 (BG) cotton leaf discs but did not initially avoid it. Survival was higher when larvae could move from BG3 to non‐Bt leaf discs. On whole plants, more larvae dispersed from hatching on BG3 cotton compared to non‐Bt cotton. These findings suggest the larval movement differs

European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...

Characterisation of Sex Pheromone and Genetic Strain in Rachiplusia nu (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Populations Across Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rachiplusia nu, known as the sunflower looper (SFL) and belonging to the Plusiinae subfamily, is a major defoliator of soybeans, sunflowers and other horticultural crops across southern South America. This species has recently expanded to central and northern regions of Brazil, becoming a key soybean pest.

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...
