Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity
Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region. Despite the significance of these crops globally and recent advances in genetic characterisation, the histories and geographies of ...

All-plasmonic switching effect in the graphene nanostructures containing quantum emitters [PDF]
Nonlinear plasmonic effects in perspective 2D materials containing low-dimensional quantum emitters can be a basis of a novel technological platform for the fabrication of fast all-plasmonic triggers, transistors, and sensors. This article considers the conditions for achieving a strong plasmon-exciton coupling in the system with quantum nanowire (NW ...

We have assembled a group of scientists that work on different aspects of SCA and hereby submit a comprehensive review of the species and its management, with ideas for future research avenues. We believe this review will be of interest to scientists studying plant–insect interactions, and extension entomologists, among others, who work with the ...
