A team has modeled improving photosynthesis through enzyme modification and simulated soybean growth with realistic climate conditions, determining to what extent the improvements in photosynthesis ...

The image shows a high-resolution 3D model of the plant RNA polymerase PEP, which plays a central role in photosynthesis. For life on Earth, it is essential that plants carry out photosynthesis and ...

The secrets of photosynthesis have been discovered at the atomic level, shedding important new light on this plant super-power that greened the Earth more than a billion years ago. John Innes Centre ...

MS-LS1-6 – Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. (The game models how trees absorb ...

“We have been trying for decades to understand how plants split water into oxygen, protons, and electrons,” said coauthor Vittal Yachandra of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in a press ...

Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

Plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars and oxygen in various ways (photosynthesis).

Inside a lab, scientists marvel at a strange state that forms when they cool down atoms to nearly absolute zero. Outside their window, trees gather sunlight and turn them into new leaves. The two seem ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...
