Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Gender discrimination in physics and astronomy: Graduate student experiences of sexism and gender microaggressions

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] Sexism occurs when men are believed to be superior to women, and is thought to be one of the reasons for women’s underrepresentation in physics and astronomy.

Using the Big Ideas in Cosmology to Teach College Students

, 2013
Recent advances in our understanding of the Universe have revolutionized our view of its structure, composition and evolution. However, these new ideas have not necessarily been used to improve the teaching of introductory astronomy students.

Broad‐Spectral Response Lead Halide Perovskite Solar Cells Through Integration of Multifunctional Organic Bulk‐Heterojunction and Quantum‐Cutting Downconversion Materials

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Expanding near‐infrared (NIR) spectral response and utilizing ultraviolet (UV) photons are effective strategies for enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the range of NIR spectral response extension and the utilization of UV light for devices are not enough, and the loss of ...
