Impact of Digital Ability and Rice Technology Adoption on Rice Farming Performance in Benin

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the combined effects of digital ability and the adoption of various rice technologies among smallholder rice farmers, using GPS‐spatially matched data sources that include household surveys and a general census of rice value chain actors in Benin.

Enhancement of broad-spectrum disease resistance in wheat through key genes involved in systemic acquired resistance

Frontiers in Plant Science
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an inducible disease resistance phenomenon in plant species, providing plants with broad-spectrum resistance to secondary pathogen infections beyond the initial infection site. In Arabidopsis, SAR can be triggered by

Vertical Price Transmission in Food Markets: New Evidence From Meta‐Analysis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing body of empirical research has examined price dynamics along the food supply chain, yet findings remain heterogeneous and often conflicting. This study conducts a meta‐analysis of 140 studies, totaling 652 observations, to examine (1) the reported presence of asymmetric price transmission and (2) the reported direction of price ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Quantum mechanical atomistic investigation of the hydrogen addition to carbon monosulfide on interstellar water ice

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. The successive hydrogenation of carbon monosulfide (CS) on the surfaces of interstellar icy grains is regarded as a highly efficient mechanism to generate thioformaldehyde (H2CS) and methanethiol or methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) in the interstellar ...

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Iron-zinc fortified extruded rice analogues in cooking quality and sensory attributes

International Journal of Biosciences (IJB), 2019
Globally iron and zinc deficiencies are among the most widespread micronutrient deficiencies. Development of nutrient‐dense food formulations has been proposed as a means to combat this menace. Extrusion processing is a most feasible alternative for manufacturing fortified foods.

Multipathway modulation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress by hesperidin in a rat single prolonged stress model of post‐traumatic stress disorder

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Single prolonged stress (SPS) induces post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)‐like neuropathology characterized by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, astrocytic reactivity, neuronal damage, and reduced neurotrophic support in the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. Hesperidin counteracts these effects by attenuating lipid peroxidation and pro‐
