Terrestrial plants drove an increase in global photosynthesis between 2003 and 2021, a trend partially offset by a weak ...

This research demonstrates that gene editing can help crops better meet global food needs while adhering to environmental ...

Evolutionary plant biologists at the University of Toronto have identified a protein that evolved approximately 500 million ...

Researchers at MIT have made a major breakthrough in optimizing rubisco, a key enzyme in photosynthesis. By modifying a ...

MIT gave photosynthesis a boost by evolving rubisco to work faster, raising hopes for higher crop yields and more efficient plants.

To measure these impacts on photosynthesis, the researchers analyzed more than 3,000 data points from 157 studies of microplastics and plants, then they used artificial intelligence to model those ...

The scientists found that the place in the cell where photosynthesis starts was "leaking" electrons. In nature, this could protect plants from the harmful parts of sunlight.

Planet Earth Plants Scientists have finally discovered how photosynthesis starts — by setting it off with a single photon News By Joanna Thompson published June 14, 2023 ...

Closer inspection at the cellular level revealed that plants were holding back on bringing phosphorus into their chloroplasts as a sort of response to being exposed to so much CO 2. Because phosphorus ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants ...

Absence of carbonic anhydrase in chloroplasts affects C3 plant development but not photosynthesis. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021; 118 (33): e2107425118 DOI: 10.1073/pnas ...
