Functional crop types are more important than diversity for the productivity, profit and risk of crop sequences in the inner Argentinean Pampas by Videla Mensegue, Horacio Rogelio, Caviglia, Octavio, Sadras, Victor Oscar

“…Our results demonstrated that functional crop types (cereal and legumes) were more important than diversity and cropping intensity for the profit and risk of crop sequences in the Inner Argentinean Pampas. SIGNIFICANCE: Economic risk-benefit analysis of crop sequences is necessary but not sufficient to understanding the drivers of grower's choices, which are greatly influenced by context regarding policies for grower support, taxes, and land ownership.…”

Engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae for targeted hydrolysis and fermentation of glucuronoxylan through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing by Ravn, Jonas L., Manfrão-Netto, João H.C., Schaubeder, Jana B., Torello Pianale, Luca, Spirk, Stefan, Ciklic, Ivan Francisco, Geijer, Cecilia

“…By engineering strains of the widely employed cell factory Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ability to directly hydrolyze and ferment GX polymers, we can avoid the need for harsh chemical pretreatments and costly enzymatic hydrolysis steps prior to fermentation. However, for an economically viable bioproduction process, the engineered strains must efficiently express and secrete enzymes that act in synergy to hydrolyze the targeted polymers. …”
