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

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 ...

Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, ...

Everything about a plant’s life is affected by its leaves. These powerhouses are the sugar factories of botany! Leaves have amazing mechanisms for sustaining the plant’s life, as well as their vital ...

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

An international team of scientists have unlocked a key piece of Earth's evolutionary puzzle by decoding the structure of a ...

Scientists create artificial leaves from supramolecular hydrogels that efficiently convert light into chemical energy for green, recyclable photocatalysis.

Photosynthetic parameters were measured using a LI-6400 Portable Photosynthesis System (LI-COR, USA) on mature leaves at the same leaf position (the second compound leaf counted from the rootstock ...

The researchers developed a model that traces the movement of OCS from the atmosphere into plant chloroplasts—the cellular structures where photosynthesis occurs. This approach leverages OCS’s ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the high temperature effects on the response of photosynthesis to light in sweet orange plants infected with Xylella fastidiosa. This vascular bacterium is ...

Likewise, Bru notes the rush of energy that an unexpected result gives him to continue. Plant cells, which contain chloroplasts that host the photosynthesis reaction, absorb sunlight for plants’ use ...
