Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Glyphosate as a direct or indirect activator of pro-inflammatory signaling and cognitive impairment

Neural Regeneration Research
Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used around the world, making it likely that most humans have significant exposure. Because of habitual exposure, there are concerns about toxicity including neurotoxicity that could result in neurological ...

Smart double‐screening system of propagating male‐sterile lines for maize hybrid seed production

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Seed and Seedling Marker Method double‐screening system for maize hybrid seed production integrates Ms45‐mediated fertility restoration, Mn1/Sh1‐RNAi‐based seed selection, and Lc‐based seedling selection. It thus enables efficient, high‐purity propagation of male‐sterile lines by combining fertility maintenance with sequential visual selection at ...

CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.

Engineering glyphosate‐resistant watermelon by prime editing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Editing the watermelon EPSPS gene using a prime editing platform with visible markers created a non‐transgenic glyphosate‐resistant line. These robust heterozygous mutants tolerate field‐level herbicide doses without growth penalties, serving as ideal parental lines for crop breeding.

The Generics Revolution and the New Economic Geography of the Global Pesticide Industry

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global pesticide industry transformed from one dominated by patented products and legacy multinationals with strong manufacturing bases in the United States and EU to one dominated by generic products produced in India and China. We use proprietary market research data, data from regulatory filings, industry press and bilateral trade data ...

Dependent Articulation in the Global Pesticide Complex: Argentina's Agrochemical Industry After the Generics Market Revolution

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers

Generation of Maize 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (EPSPS) Variants with Improved Glyphosate Tolerance

International Journal of Plant Biology
Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) is a broad-spectrum, foliar-applied herbicide that inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in plants.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.
