A robust biotechnology induces artificial genomic duplication via transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...

Nonresponse Bias in Household Inflation Expectations Surveys

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper uses microdata from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Household Inflation Expectations survey to evaluate the effects of nonresponses to the inflation expectations question in the survey. We find nonresponses lead to substantial underrepresentation of some demographic groups in the survey: young, female, low‐income, and minority ...

No Cocoa Without Deforestation? A Field‐Type Analysis of Forest Frontiers in West Africa

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the interrelations of production systems, class relations and deforestation in a smallholder forest frontier. Using the concept of field types, we provide a plot‐level analysis of deforestation processes in West Africa, where smallholders convert forest into cocoa farms.

To be(long) or not to be(long): Literature and community

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Over several decades, the modern world's intensified mobility has prompted a broad interest in community studies in the social sciences, which address in new ways the topics of place, belonging, and identity formation. Such topics being salient to literature and literary studies as well, the overall aim of the article is to extract a selection

Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Knockout of LbSP1 and LbSP5G1 Reveals Efficient Customization of Shoot Architecture in Black Goji Berry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

Converging GWAS and Genome Editing Decrypts MsCBF8‐MsGolS2 Regulatory Module for Drought Tolerance Without Yield Penalty in Medicago sativa

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8.
