Photosynthesis is the central process by which plants build up biomass using light, water, and carbon dioxide from the air.

Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that allows plants to convert light energy into chemical energy, which is essential for their growth and survival. Recent research has focused on enhancing ...

Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Rising temperatures make plants lose more water, weakening their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and survive heat stress.

Most orchid species have a symbiotic relationship with the natural fungi found in their roots. The plants provide the fungi ...

Researchers found that some orchids abandon photosynthesis and feed on fungi when conditions allow. Instead of relying on ...

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising rapidly, with numerous negative consequences for the climate. However, ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African ...

Most orchids live in a symbiotic relationship with fungi in their roots: The plants provide sugar they produce through photosynthesis and in return receive water and minerals from the fungi. However, ...
