Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Designing “Korean” Kimchi: Speculative Configuration of Distance and Commodity Value in the Chinese Kimchi Industry

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Chinese kimchi industry, manufacturers employ product names, photographs, and logistical strategies to promote their kimchi's “Koreanness.” So, what makes their kimchi “Korean,” and how does its Koreanness formulate kimchi's commodity value?

Disentangling contract and law: Legal specificity and contractual governance in public–private partnerships

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how legal design shapes contractual governance in public–private partnership (PPP). We argue that PPP‐specific laws do not simply strengthen institutional safeguards; by varying in detail, they also alter the flexibility available for project‐level contracting.

Whole-transcriptome sequencing reveals a vernalization-related ceRNA regulatory network in chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis)

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth involves various pathways. Vernalization is a crucial process for floral organ formation and regulation of flowering time that is widely utilized in plant breeding. In this study, we

Characterization and Transcriptome Analysis Reveal Exogenous GA₃ Inhibited Rosette Branching via Altering Auxin Approach in Flowering Chinese Cabbage

Agronomy
Branching is an important agronomic trait that is conducive to plant architecture and yield in flowering Chinese cabbage. Plant branching is regulated by a complex network mediated by hormones; gibberellin (GA) is one of the important hormones which is ...
