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

But whilst all flowers can look great, they don't all do the same job. So what plans should you buy? 1. Peace lilies. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Research Topic in honor of Professor Reto Jörg Strasser’s 80th birthday, which was on December 28, 2023, invites original research and review papers for ...

“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 ...

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

Now, after completing a bachelor’s in agronomical sciences, master’s in plant biology and doctorate in biology, she has settled for leading a research lab that strives to decode the process of ...

Their work revealed that microplastics could reduce plant photosynthesis by as much as 12 percent on average. In turn, the researchers estimate that will cause a 4 to 14 percent yield loss for ...
