Harnessing Methylselenol (CH3SeH): A Highly Effective Platform for Stimuli‐Responsive Delivery With Therapeutic Potential

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tools for controlled selenol delivery are crucial for exploring Se‐related biology and medicine, but compound platforms for triggerable release of CH3SeH remain lacking. Herein, we report the first general triggered platform (TD‐MSe) for efficient cyclization release of CH3SeH in live cells.

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.
