Plants using C4 photosynthesis grow 20-100 percent quicker than more common C3 plants by altering the shape, size and structure of their leaves and roots, according to a new study. Plants using C4 ...

UC Davis plant biologists have resolved the structure of proteins vital to energy production in mung beans. Understanding these proteins gives insight into basic plant biology, stress responses, and ...

Plants make their own food using photosynthesis. The food that plants produce is important, not only for the plants themselves, but for the other organisms that feed on the plants. In this video, Greg ...

The mechanics behind photosynthesis in plants could be used in the fight against climate change, according to one scientist. Understanding the way plants use and store light to produce energy could be ...

The green dots inside these plant cells are the chloroplasts which house the plant's solar energy capture and conversion capabilities Solar energy is a key component of humanity’s shift towards “green ...

July 25 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered unusual structures in rare bacteria that resemble the cellular components that power photosynthesis. The discovery, described this week in the journal Trends ...

The relative amounts of apparent photosynthesis in two portions of the spectrum, one usually in the yellow, were determined for white pine trees grown in red or in blue-violet light. There were rather ...

The plant chloroplast thylakoid is the site of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain that converts absorbed solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH mainly for use in CO 2 ...

Pollution enters the environment from diffuse sources. The causes can be outright, such as the emissions from a coal-burning power plant. Other times, the source may be hard to identify, such as ...

Did you know that the deep ocean can produce oxygen without the need of solar light nor photosynthesis? According to a study ...
