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.

NO NĀ PUA: Exploring the feasibility of culture‐based social prescribing on firefighters' wellbeing in Hawaiʻi

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Firefighters face an array of stressors due to the demands of their occupation, leading to a high prevalence of mental health challenges. Social prescribing represents a novel approach to healthcare that emphasizes a holistic view of health and wellbeing.

Real‐time monitoring of root dielectric properties for assessing crop plant damage caused by foliar application of glyphosate

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

Type I interferon drives dysfunction of a distinct CD8+ HLA‐DRB1+ T cell subset in systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by type I interferon (IFN) signaling and adaptive immune dysregulation. We previously identified hypomethylation of HLA‐DRB1 and STAT1 in SLE CD8+ T cells, enabling aberrant IFN‐driven HLA‐DRB1 expression and expansion of a distinct CD8+ T cell subset. This study characterized CD8+ HLA‐DRB1+

Weed Suppression by Cover Plants in the Amazonian

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2019
The productivity of citrus plants has not reached its maximum potential due to the action of several factors that directly affect agricultural profitability. Among these factors, weed interference has a great importance since it causes a reduction in crop productivity.

Evaluating the Performance of Intercropping Cereals and Legumes to Reduce Weed Pressure

Proceedings
Weeds are a major contributor to crop yield losses, accounting for up to 30% in conventional systems and exceeding 50% in organic farming. This study evaluated the effectiveness of intercropping as an agroecological strategy for weed suppression in ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Exploring the Feasibility of Integrating Weed and Nitrogen Management with Seed Meals in Organic Vegetables

Horticulturae
Corn gluten meal (CGM) and soybean meal (SBM) have demonstrated value as bioherbicides and organic fertilizers, but suggested application rates usually target either weed suppression or crop nutrition, not both. The objective of this study was to explore

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Decomposition of cover crop mulch and weed control under a no-till system for organic maize

Bioscience Journal, 2019
The decomposition dynamics of cover crop mulch influence the nutrient supply of successor crops and weed suppression. This is even more relevant in organic production systems, due to their limited use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides.
