Advancing Machine Learning Optimization of Chiral Photonic Metasurface: Comparative Study of Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm Approaches

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Two methods for the optimization of chiral reflection by a metamaterial made of either GaP/Air or PMMA/Air interfaces are compared, showing approaches towards fast design exploration and high‐performance results: a neural‐network pipeline and a genetic algorithm. The structures considered are characterized by a periodic, chiral texturation with a shape

Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Spatial omics reveals molecular changes in focal cortical dysplasia type II

Neurobiology of Disease
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) represents a group of diverse localized cortical lesions that are highly epileptogenic and occur due to abnormal brain development caused by genetic mutations, involving the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).

Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Tree species diversity drives above‐ground carbon sequestration through light‐related trait shifts

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Functional traits can vary in response to tree species mixing, which in turn might influence biomass production and, consequently, carbon (C) sequestration in diverse forests.
