The change produced exactly what scientists predicted. Researchers make surprising discovery that could transform modern ...

Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives growth and serves as an important signaling molecule during stress and development. Sucrose is a key product of photosynthesis and the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Here’s how it works. An illustration of a single photon drifting toward a plant to kick-start photosynthesis. (Image credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab) Light is the basis for almost all life on Earth.
