Transcriptome analysis and identification of abscisic acid and gibberellin-related genes during seed development of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a widely cultivated plant. Unlike many crops, the main goal of breeding alfalfa is to increase its aboveground biomass rather than the biomass of its seeds.

On the Economics of US Agricultural Policy

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of US agricultural policy, building on a modified version of Gardner's efficient redistribution. We argue that agricultural policy is motivated as an attempt to implement an efficient redistribution scheme that redistributes income toward farmers who, as a group, have been adversely affected by ...

Hybrid identification and genetic variation of Elymus sibiricus hybrid populations using EST-SSR markers

Hereditas, 2017
Background Elymus sibiricus is an important native grass in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Seed shattering is a serious problem for E. sibiricus, especially at harvest time.

Guidelines for Detecting the Foodborne Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacteria

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foodborne antibiotic‐resistant bacteria threaten global public health and the economic. Standardized detection methods are crucial for effective prevention and control. Researchers encounter difficulties in choosing suitable techniques due to the variety of available approaches and the intricate nature of resistance mechanisms.

Genome-wide identification of the MADS-box transcription factor family in autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and expression analysis under abiotic stress

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Alfalfa, the “queen of forage”, is the most extensively cultivated forage legume in the world. The development and yield of alfalfa are seriously limited by abiotic stress.

Who Is Structurally Able to Participate in the Sustainable Protein Transition and Through What Mechanisms?

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Participation in transitions toward more sustainable protein consumption is driven primarily by sustainability motivation, whereas behavioural capability determines whether intentions translate into action. Despite high awareness among Chinese consumers, gaps persist, indicating that policies must jointly address motivational and practical barriers to ...

Differential co-expression networks of long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs in Cleistogenes songorica under water stress and during recovery

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Water stress seriously constrains plant growth and yield. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as versatile regulators in various biological regulatory processes. To date, the systematic screening and potential functions of lncRNA have not yet

Swedish farmers' approval of nudges

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Interest in the use of behavioral policy approaches, such as nudges, has strongly increased over the past years, including in the domains of food, agricultural and environmental policies. While the approval of nudges among the general public has been studied extensively, we know little about the attitude of farmers toward nudging. Farmers may (

Comprehensive analysis of bZIP transcription factors uncovers their roles during dimorphic floret differentiation and stress response in Cleistogenes songorica

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Transcription factors act as important regulators of transcription networks. Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors have been shown to be involved in multiple biological processes in plants.
