Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

Microplastics can cut a plant’s ability to photosynthesize by up to 12 percent, new research shows microplastics are ...

A team from the University of Illinois has determined that improving a key component of soybean photosynthesis is unlikely to ...

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have synthesized ...

On average, these little particles could reduce photosynthesis in plants and algae by up to 12 percent, according to the ...

We know microplastics are everywhere – but what's less clear is the harm they might be doing. New research puts those ...

Through photosynthesis, the particles of light power a cellular reaction that manufactures chemical energy (in the form of sugars), which is then passed around the food web in a complex dance of ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

Microplastics are silently sabotaging the planet’s greenery, curbing photosynthesis, and threatening food security.

Microplastics are hindering photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into the fruit and ...

Microplastics are floating in the air around us, surging through rivers and streams, and burrowing deep into soils. And now, a new study suggests that all those tiny pieces of plastic are also ...
