That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

Scientists are working toward a better way to monitor plant health from above the ground without disturbing their environment ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

On average, these little particles could reduce photosynthesis in plants and algae by up to 12 percent, according to the paper ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

These living workshops are consumed with photosynthesis and cellular respiration— processes dedicated to making, breaking, and reshaping molecules with the singular purpose of keeping a plant alive.

A new study finds that microplastic pollution reduces plant photosynthesis, threatening global food security and worsening climate change. Researchers warn this could lead to major crop losses and ...
