Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant ...

During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H2O) taken up by plant roots to CO2 to produce carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO2 is "reduced," or receives ...

In a review in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Stephen Long, a professor of crop sciences and of plant ...

Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a ...

In terms of importance, cellular biologist Geoffrey McFadden wrote in a study published in Plant Physiology that “the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis must rank just after the origin of life itself.” ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which they need, in ...

We'll also explain which non-plant organisms use photosynthesis to survive and how unusual plants like cacti turn everyday bits of nature into food. Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological ...

Is that beautiful amaryllis flower from last Christmas still languishing on the corner of your plant stand? Now is the time to revive it for rebloom next December.

“Sometimes the experiments have been done with leaves and plant parts, and we haven’t measured the photosynthesis in a normal environmental situation,” she said. “We need to drill down on ...

A new study, published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, reveals how microplastics hinder photosynthesis across a wide range of plant species—including crucia ...

Scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making them ...
