Animal Teachers: Nonhuman Pedagogy and the Question of Deceit

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract Animals as “teachers” of human children and adults is a recurring theme in children's literature, in anthropological accounts of “feral children,” as well as in contemporary practices of animal‐assisted pedagogy, philosophical research, wildlife documentaries, and popular culture.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

The IKU2/RLK7–MAPK–MINI3 signaling module controls endosperm cellularization timing to determine seed size in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The phosphorylation status of the WRKY transcription factor WRKY10/MINI3, controls the timing of endosperm cellularization in Arabiopsis, thus regulating final seed size, offering a molecular understanding that could inform future agricultural breeding strategies. ABSTRACT Seed size is a critical factor in determining crop yield.

SlMED25‐SlPHR3‐SlSPX2 module fine‐tunes SlPHR3‐mediated transcriptional activation of phosphate starvation response in tomato

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Mediator subunit SlMED25 and the co‐repressor SlSPX2 competitively bind the N‐terminal domain of the phosphate starvation response transcription factor SlPHR3 in tomato to form a sensitive molecular switch, which dynamically modulates phosphate starvation responses and maintains phosphate homeostasis, offering valuable targets for breeding low ...

A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

ZmMS1 coordinates ROS homeostasis, lipid allocation, and male fertility for maize breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

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

Journal 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
