A drought-inducible GOC photorespiratory bypass in rice switched on its transgenes tens of times above baseline under stress, ...

Current dogma holds that CO2fixation by photosynthesis requires additional ATP production via cyclic electron transfer, mediated by two distinct pathways involving the NADH dehydrogenase-like complex ...

Since the green revolution, the efficiency in which crop plants intercept light and the partitioning of biomass to harvested plant organs were dramatically increased. However, the efficiency of ...

Photorespiration is a cellular conversion process in which plants release carbon dioxide and consume oxygen when exposed to light. Until now, it has been considered an especially wasteful by-product ...

Long before dinosaurs roamed the land, Earth looked very different from the planet we know today. Around 500 million years ago, most of Earth’s surface was bare rock and dry soil. There were no trees, ...

Photorespiration is a cellular conversion process in which plants release carbon dioxide and consume oxygen when exposed to light. Until now, it has been considered an especially wasteful by-product ...

Researchers from Munich and Heidelberg find link between metabolism and gene regulation and gain new insights into plant reactions to environmental influences Photorespiration is a cellular conversion ...

For decades, the basics of plant growth have been taught in grade-school: Plants make their food out of water from the soil, light from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air in a process called ...

Scientists have created a new way to watch plants breathe—live and in high definition—while tracking exactly how much carbon and water they exchange with the air. The breakthrough could help unlock ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Ancient trees may have played a key role in regulating Earth’s climate during the last ice age — by breathing less efficiently. A new study, led by a researcher at Penn State ...

For over 5 years, Arthur has been professionally covering video games, writing guides and walkthroughs. His passion for video games began at age 10 in 2010 when he first played Gothic, an immersive ...

Photosynthetic efficiency in crop plants is governed by the capacity to convert light energy into chemical energy and to fix atmospheric CO₂ into biomass. Central to this process is Rubisco, the ...
