Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.
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 ...
By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...
The mystery of the unclear biological significance of the ferredoxin/thioredoxin pathway in plants has finally been solved by researchers using CRISPR/Cas9. The researchers show that the pathway is ...
This stage is so-called because it depends on light being available. The reactions of this stage also require specific enzymes to catalyse them. Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted into ...
The photocontrol of the functional coupling between photosynthesis and stomatal conductance in the leaf was investigated in gas exchange experiments using monochromatic light provided by lasers. Net ...
Light is an environmentally friendly energy source for chemical reactions. However, large quantities of harmful solvents have ...
Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...
In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two ...
How can we grow more food using fewer resources? Scientists have been focused on this question for decades if not centuries, as an ever-growing global population necessitates constantly seeking new ...
