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.

Over-expression of BcFLC1 from non-heading Chinese cabbage enhances cold tolerance in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2013
A gene (named BcFLC1) homologous to the AtFLC gene, which encodes a floral repressor, was isolated from the nonheading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis) cv. NJ074. The gene showed high similarity to AtFLC.

Fleeting Feminism: The Singapore Women's Federation, Singapore Chinese Left‐Wing Feminism and Anti‐Colonial Nationalism, c. 1950s

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1955, two female factory workers and trade union leaders, Tan Lee Eng and Kwek Tai Eng, established the Singapore Women's Federation (SWF) to unite women regardless of race, religion or class for the anti‐colonial nationalist struggle. Singapore Chinese left‐wing feminism emerged at the confluence of the nationalist interest in mobilising ...

The Formosan Black Bear and Taiwanese Nationalism

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building on scholarship that situates nations and nationalism within colonial relations, this article examines nationalism in settler‐colonial Taiwan amid China's colonial claim to sovereignty. Drawing on interviews, conservation documents and popular representations, we show how the Formosan black bear became a national symbol of resistance ...

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Revisiting the foundation era of plant genomics with a commentary on the pioneering contributions of Prof. Chittaranjan Kole

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The evolution of plant genomics has been shaped by several pioneering milestones, beginning with the introduction of restriction fragment length polymorphism–based genetic linkage maps in the mid‐1980s. Among the global contributors, Prof. Chittaranjan Kole stands as a distinguished figure whose work fundamentally shifted the trajectory of ...

Generation of early-flowering Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa spp. pekinensis) through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing [PDF]

, 2019
The CRISPR system enables us to induce precisely targeted mutations in a plant genome. The widely used CRISPR system is composed of a Cas9 protein derived from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) and a target site-specific guide RNA.

Focus on DnaJ protein research from Arabidopsis to crop improvement

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract DnaJ proteins (Hsp40s) are essential components of the cellular proteostasis network, functioning as molecular co‐chaperones that regulate protein folding, stability, and stress‐responsive homeostasis in plants. Beyond their classical role as Hsp70 partners, accumulating evidence demonstrates that DnaJ proteins participate in diverse ...

Construction and evaluation of Brassica rapa orphan genes overexpression library

Frontiers in Plant Science
Orphan genes (OGs) are crucial for species-specific characteristics and stress responses and are restricted to a specific taxon. However, their functions within particular species are poorly understood.

A Risk‐Based Framework for Ranking Microbiological Hazards and Identifying Mitigation Strategies for Dried Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Spices Used in Ready‐to‐Eat Foods

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Low water activity ingredients, including dried fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, are widely used in ready‐to‐eat (RTE) and non‐RTE foods. Although low water activity limits microbial growth, bacterial pathogens can survive for extended periods in these products.
