Yellow canopy syndrome of sugarcane: A review of current knowledge and future research directions
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a complex issue affecting commercial sugarcane in Australia, first identified in Far North Queensland over a decade ago. It has spread across most cane‐growing regions in Queensland and poses a significant threat to the global sugarcane industry.

SNAP-25, but not SNAP-23, is essential for photoreceptor development, survival, and function in mice
SNARE-mediated vesicular transport is thought to play roles in photoreceptor glutamate exocytosis and photopigment delivery. However, the functions of Synaptosomal-associated protein (SNAP) isoforms in photoreceptors are unknown.

The Method of Silent Substitution for Examining Melanopsin Contributions to Pupil Control
The human pupillary light response is driven by all classes of photoreceptors in the human eye—the three classes of cones, the rods, and the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) expressing the photopigment melanopsin.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to determine the photoreceptor basis of light avoidance in mice and assess the effect of CGRP sensitization on this behavior. Background Prior studies have suggested that photophobia is mediated by a subset of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that contain melanopsin, making them intrinsically photosensitive ...

First-order Design of a Reflective Viewfinder for Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy [PDF]
Adaptive optics (AO) ophthalmoscopes with small fields of view have limited clinical utility. We propose to address this problem in reflective instruments by incorporating a viewfinder pupil relay designed by considering pupil and image centering and ...

Biomimetic High‐Order Encoder for Trichromatic Recognition Based on Flexible MoS2 Ring Oscillators
MoS2‐based ring oscillators are fabricated for color and intensity resolved image recognition, which exploit wavelength‐dependent photoresponsivity (400–700 nm) to implement biomimetic spectral coding. Through MoS2 oscillators, light signals are transduced into frequency‐modulated electrical spikes from 265 Hz to 3.8 kHz, establishing hardware ...

From blue light to clock genes in zebrafish ZEM-2S cells.
Melanopsin has been implicated in the mammalian photoentrainment by blue light. This photopigment, which maximally absorbs light at wavelengths between 470 and 480 nm depending on the species, is found in the retina of all classes of vertebrates so far ...
