Relative cost of ginning cotton using saw, conventional roller, and high‐speed roller gins in the United States

open access: yesAgribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 316-329, Winter 2026.
Abstract The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether the cost of processing cotton using high‐speed roller gins is comparable to saw gins. The results from a “true” random effect model estimated using proprietary data voluntarily shared by cotton gins operating in Arizona and California showed that the average cost inefficiency for ...

Three‐dimensional‐printed tools to democratize global plant research

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Numerous activities in the plant sciences require time‐consuming, repetitive actions that are ideal for automation, but existing tools to accomplish these types of tasks are often priced beyond the reach of many research labs, especially in low‐resource environments.

Comparison of various fertilizer recommendations for forage crops in the Western United States

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Farmers often use private and public labs, crop advisors, or fertilizer dealers to determine fertilizer needs for crops, with recommendations and resulting costs from these sources having the potential to vary greatly. Twelve on‐farm trials across the state of Utah in alfalfa (Medicago sativa), small grain forage, and silage corn (Zea mays ...

Betalain synthesis in alfalfa impacts fiber digestion and enteric methane production

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Betalain pigments, betacyanins, and betaxanthins are widely used as coloring agents as well as in pharmaceutical and functional foods. However, significant betacyanin production occurs in only a few species of plants, which limits their wider application.

Engineering Gossypol‐Free Cottonseeds for Future Global Food Security and Agricultural Sustainability

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study depicting the role of transcriptomics, RNA interference (RNAi), and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies in the breeding of glandless cottonseed and glanded cotton tissues. This approach demonstrates the potential of cotton as a dual‐purpose crop, serving both the fiber industry and as a sustainable food and feed source.

Short‐stature maize systems reduce carbon intensity of grain production by an average of 13% compared to commercially relevant tall comparators

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The sustainable intensification of crop production provides more output with similar or fewer inputs, and therefore helps to produce food, feed, fiber, and fuel more efficiently. While short‐stature maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids have been shown to be more climate resilient, with reductions in yield‐scaled greenhouse gas production due to reduced

Variation in carbon sequestration in response to water limitation in a diverse panel of switchgrass genotypes

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been identified as a “model” herbaceous species for bioenergy production by the United States Department of Energy. Switchgrass can provide several ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, soil erosion control, runoff filtering, and reclamation of marginal land.
