Coupling of both a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain boosts Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine editing in plants

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Fusions of a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain produced effective Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine base editors, with improved C‐to‐T and A‐to‐G base editing efficiency and expanded editing window. Generated herbicide‐resistant rice germplasm by using these base editors demonstrates their potential for precise ...

Synergistic engineering of Casδ nuclease for robust genome editing

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plants, with overall editing performance comparable to that of SpCas9 and other Cas12 nucleases.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

open access: yesJournal 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.
