C4 photosynthesis represents a striking example of convergent evolution, where multiple plant lineages have independently modified an ancestral C3 pathway to enhance carbon fixation efficiency. This ...

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

Just as the human body contains a multitude of symbiotic microbial companions, most plant species also live alongside ...

One might not think about the intersection of glass art and plant life, but a Cleveland Institute of Art student and ...

Photosynthesis refers to the process by which plants convert sunlight into usable energy. The process not only produces energy, but also cleans out the atmosphere by releasing oxygen. Now, researchers ...

We humans may rule the jungle, but the plants around us do have us beat on one thing: photosynthesis, or the ability to convert sunlight into energy. Now, scientists at China’s Zhejiang University ...

Photosynthesis is the pivotal process through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, thereby sustaining almost all terrestrial ecosystems. At the heart of this mechanism is the enzyme ...

Circadian clocks of wheat can provide a window into the plant's nutrient content and life cycle, finds new research that ...

A new study describes a significant step toward improving photosynthesis and increasing yields by putting elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by ...

You would need hundreds to thousands of plants to improve your home's air quality, so a few houseplants won't make much of a ...
