Yellow canopy syndrome of sugarcane: A review of current knowledge and future research directions

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 48-63, January 2026.
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

open access: yesCommunications Biology
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
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.

Amplifying and ameliorating light avoidance in mice with photoreceptor targeting and calcitonin gene‐related peptide sensitization

open access: yesHeadache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 132-143, January 2026.
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 ...

Short-wavelength-sensitive 2 (Sws2) visual photopigment models combined with atomistic molecular simulations to predict spectral peaks of absorbance.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
For many species, vision is one of the most important sensory modalities for mediating essential tasks that include navigation, predation and foraging, predator avoidance, and numerous social behaviors.

First-order Design of a Reflective Viewfinder for Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 21, December 17, 2025.
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.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...
