Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Young children's perspectives of time: New directions for co‐constructing understandings of quality in ECEC

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Children's relationship with time in preschools is an under‐researched area. Young children rarely know how to measure time using a clock, but their experiences of time may contribute to understanding children's well‐being and debates about quality in preschools.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Chromosome level high-density integrated genetic maps improve the Pyrus bretschneideri ‘DangshanSuli’ v1.0 genome

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Chromosomal level reference genomes provide a crucial foundation for genomics research such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and whole genome selection. The chromosomal-level sequences of both the European (Pyrus communis) and Chinese

Swedish Consumers' Willingness‐to‐Pay for Plant‐Based Proteins in Pasta Sauce: Preferences and Policy Scenarios

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores Swedish consumers' protein preferences by estimating the willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for minced meat and plant‐based proteins in pasta sauce from an in‐store experiment (n = 206) and an online discrete choice experiment (n = 517). On average, the WTP was highest for minced meat.

Production of HSVd- and PPV-free apricot cultivars by in vitro thermotherapy followed by meristem culture

Plant Methods
Background The production of virus-free apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.) is essential for controlling viral diseases, exchanging breeding materials without the risk of spreading new diseases, and preserving plant germplasm. Plum pox virus (PPV) is the most

Integration of linkage mapping, QTL analysis, RNA-seq data, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to explore relative flowering traits in almond

Horticultural Plant Journal
Almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] is one of the oldest cultivated nut tree crops in the world. Breeding efforts aim to develop new cultivars with improved economically significant traits, including higher yields and superior kernel quality, which ...
