A hydroponic barley study found that nitrogen starvation triggers coordinated photosynthetic remodeling across leaf ages, ...

Rising temperatures and increasing drought are shortening crop-growing seasons in many parts of the world. Now scientists in ...

A field experiment in Pernambuco, Brazil, found that pulse subsurface drip fertigation combined with a nitrogen rate of about ...

Coast redwoods, which grow only from central California to southern Oregon, slow photosynthesis when temperatures ramp up, ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis has driven life on this planet for more than 3 billion years—first in bacteria, then in plants—but we don't know exactly how it works. Now, a University of Michigan biophysicist and her ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have been able to capture the moment a photon sparks the first steps of energy conversion in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis has driven life on this planet for more than 3 billion ...
