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 ...
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 ...
Just as the human body contains a multitude of symbiotic microbial companions, most plant species also live alongside ...
Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.
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 ...
