Targeting dCas9‐SunTag to a Susceptibility Gene Promoter Is Sufficient for CRISPR Interference

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cassava production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely impacted by diseases. Most pathogens require interaction with host susceptibility factors to complete their life cycles and cause disease. Targeted DNA methylation is an epigenetic strategy to alter gene expression in plants, and we previously reported that a zinc‐finger fused to DMS3 could ...

Certification and Credibility: Do Seed Certification Systems in Uganda Help Signal Quality to Farmers?

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 48-56, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The value of purchased seed is a product of its underlying genetic information. However, farmers purchasing seed face a classic information asymmetry problem, as varietal identity is not directly observable. In this article we investigate the effectiveness of two certification systems in addressing this issue in the context of Uganda: the ...

Do Adverse Events Influence Time Preferences? Evidence From Smallholder African Farmers

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 130-155, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Time preferences play a critical role in the agri‐food value chains of low‐income countries, impacting the choices of local operators, including innovation uptake. This paper assesses the association between smallholder farmers' individual characteristics, their exposure to diverse adverse events, and their intertemporal choices using in‐the ...
