Farm‐level agricultural productivity and adaptation to extreme heat

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Harnessing farm‐level fluctuations in weather over time, we investigate the impact of extreme heat on farm‐level agricultural productivity and adaptation strategies in Nigeria. We employ data from the Nigeria Living Standards Measurement Study‐Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS‐ISA) from the years 2010, 2012, and 2015.

miR398-Dirigent Module Negatively Regulates Cassava Resistance to Cassava Common Mosaic Virus by Affecting the Cell Wall Lignification and Thickness. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Plant Pathol
miR398‐Dirigent module reduces cell wall lignification in cassava, weakening resistance to cassava common mosaic virus. Overexpressing Dir increases cell wall lignification and enhances resistance. ABSTRACT Studies have demonstrated microRNA398 (miR398) hyperaccumulation in plant species infected with viruses; however, its role in a viral context ...
