Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long ...

Reverse Photosynthesis. New research published in the journal Nature Communications detail how a team of scientists from the University of Copenhagen have discovered natural process that can break ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants and other organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, has been a major player during the evolution of life and our planet's atmosphere.

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological Process. Whether we're standing in a vast forest or our own backyards, plants tend to disguise how they sustain themselves over time.

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy, must adjust itself to changes in the intensity of sunlight, so as to ...

Photosynthesis is how plants 'make their food' and feed the rest of the planet. The key ingredient in that recipe is carbon. So, the process captures energy from the sun, which is then used to ...

Photorespiration is the process plants use to remove these problematic byproducts. "Photorespiration is anti-photosynthesis," explains Paul South, lead author on the new research.

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants generate food, is a powerful piece of molecular machinery that needs sunlight to run. The proteins involved in photosynthesis need to be 'on' when they ...

By fixing a glitch in plants’ ability to use sunlight to make sugar, scientists have managed to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis by about 15% — an upgrade that could be used to raise ...

During the daytime, plants convert the Sun's energy into sugars using photosynthesis, a complex, multi-stage biochemical process. New work from a team including Carnegie's Mark Heinnickel ...
