Engineered Transformer Base Editor with Enhanced Editing Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly efficient transformer base editor system achieves robust genomic editing in a humanized mouse model. This work establishes a versatile and translatable platform, opening new avenues for precision gene therapy. ABSTRACT Canonical cytosine base editors (CBEs) achieve precise C‐to‐T conversions without inducing DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

Tobacco industry’s elaborate attempts to control a global track and trace system and fundamentally undermine the Illicit Trade Protocol

Tobacco Control, 2018
Background The Illicit Trade Protocol (ITP) requires a global track and trace (T&T) system to reduce tobacco smuggling. Given the tobacco industry’s (TI) historical involvement in tobacco smuggling, it stipulates that T&T ‘shall not be performed by or ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Chalcone synthase NtCHS enhances tobacco drought resilience and recovery by mediating a metabolic buffer and antioxidant defense

Industrial Crops and Products
Chalcone synthase (CHS) is the gateway to flavonoid biosynthesis, yet its role in coordinated stress cycles remains poorly understood. We systematically characterized NtCHS genes, exploring their roles in drought reserve formation, rehydration recovery ...

Tobacco industry strategies undermine government tax policy: evidence from commercial data

Tobacco Control, 2017
Objective Taxation equitably reduces smoking, the leading cause of health inequalities. The tobacco industry (TI) can, however, undermine the public health gains realised from tobacco taxation through its pricing strategies.

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.

Exogenous hydrogen sulfide increased Nicotiana tabacum L. resistance against drought by the improved photosynthesis and antioxidant system

Scientific Reports
Drought stress is an abiotic stressor that impacts photosynthesis, plant growth, and development, leading to decreased crop yields. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), an exogenous additive, has demonstrated potential regulatory effects on plant responses to ...

Vertical differences in carbon metabolic diversity and dominant flora of soil bacterial communities in farmlands

Scientific Reports
The carbon cycle in soil is significantly influenced by soil microbes. To investigate the vertical distribution of the dominant groups in agricultural soil and the carbon metabolic diversity of soil bacteria, 45 soil samples from the 0 ~ 50 cm soil layer
