The microscopic orientation and position of photoactive molecules is crucial to the operation of optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs and solar cells. Here, we introduce a shape-persistent macrocyclic molecule as an excellent fluorescent probe to simply measure (i) its orientation by rotating the excitation polarization and recording the strength of modulation in photoluminescence (PL) and (ii)...

Although a strong floral scent is typical of hybrid lilies, Asiatic lilies (Lilium spp.) have only weak scent. Therefore, developing new cultivars with pleasant scents an important objective in lily breeding programs. Among the wild species contributing to establishment, L. cernuum has characteristic that nose can perceive. We crossed twice introduce traits into and emission F1 plants their pro...
