Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

Scientists at MIT discover how lanthanides, a class of rare earth metals, help crops resist UV stress by enhancing ...

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological Process. Whether we're standing in a vast forest or our own backyards, plants tend to disguise how they sustain themselves over time.

For plants, the most important product of photosynthesis is sugar. The whole process is aimed at transforming water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich glucose molecules, which plants can then use to ...

A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

Heat waves challenge gardeners as plants experience stress above 90 degrees, slowing growth and photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a complicated process, which means there are lots of places that can be improved. Steps highlighted with orange leaves show some of the places where researchers think changes ...

Photosynthesis In Animal Cells Achieved For The First Time Using Implanted Chloroplasts The researchers are now calling these plant-animal hybrids "planimal" cells. Benjamin Taub ...

Scientists have been trying to make photosynthesis happen in animals since the 1970s. An image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into animal cells for the first time.

Decreased photosynthesis could also hamper efforts to fight climate change. As plants photosynthesize, they draw carbon dioxide from the air into their tissues and store it in the form of sugars.

Photosynthesis, the process through which plants get energy, grinds to a halt between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius, or 104 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, ...
