A spinach leaf can turn light into chemical energy. A struggling heart cannot. Researchers in China have brought part of the ...

In heat wave-like temperatures, coast redwoods' photosynthesis slows down, which may put one of Earth's most efficient carbon ...

A systematic study of six temperate plant species shows that pulsed LED light with sub-millisecond cycle periods and duty ...

New research shows that the plant hormone 2,4-epibrassinolide protects tomato photosynthesis under heat stress by preserving ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...

Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the ...

Plants are of fundamental importance for life on Earth. Plants are the main source of oxygen on which life exists. As we know, plants are the living organisms that cover a large area on Earth and ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a ...

The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for alien life and provide insights into how we ...
