Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Various processes are occurring inside the living organism. Each of these processes has its essentiality and is thus important for the survival of the organisms. One ...

Researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished this feat using a computer model that mimics the process ...

Researchers have figured out how hornworts, a relative of mosses, condense RuBisCO into specialized compartments ...

Today’s homepage features the Google logo morphed to resemble the various components of photosynthesis, including water, sunlight, and the star of the show – chlorophyll. Google rolled out another ...

“Looking at the rates of crop improvement, we’re not going to get there,” said Stephen Long, crop sciences professor. “So we need new innovations to really ensure (higher production) for the future.” ...

Along with CO 2, Rubisco sometimes catalyzes a reaction with oxygen from the air, and when it does, it creates a toxic byproduct and wastes energy, thereby making photosynthesis inefficient. "You ...

This short film, first published in 2013, is for teachers and review is recommended before use in class. For our farmers, harvest is the busiest, most important time of the year. To grow good food, ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food, is crucial to crop production and our food systems. What if we could increase the yield of food crops by improving photosynthesis?

Dr Taylor Szyszka from the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology and School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney. Australian researchers have created tiny compartments to help supercharge ...

Rutgers graduate student Heshani Pupulewatte (at right in yellow hard hat) collects water samples measuring conductivity, temperature and depth on a research ship in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The ...

All life depends on the flow of energy, which gets passed from one life-form to another. And there is one creature that embodies more than most just how that happens. This is the Golden Jellyfish. A ...

Scientists built a nano-cage to house Rubisco, the slow enzyme driving photosynthesis, offering a path to boost energy conversion in staple crops. (Nanowerk News) Australian researchers have created ...
