Plants and animals have many similarities when it comes to what they need to survive. Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing ...

From growing smaller leaves to shape-shifting its insides, a desert flowering plant goes all in to flourish in the harshest of conditions.

Researchers from the University of Helsinki have developed a groundbreaking new method to facilitate the observation of photosynthetic dynamics in vegetation. They say this finding “brings us one step ...

A biochemistry lab on the Tempe campus seeks to speed up the processes of photosynthesis with the hope of someday being able to increase crop yield and decrease world hunger. With growing worldwide ...

Research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published online Dec. 8 showed that an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has led plants to photosynthesize more, though it will not ...

On Oct. 22 Victor Nappen's College Prep Biology Class and Mike LaTorre's Advanced Placement Biology class teamed up for a lab about photosynthesis. The lab employed the strategy of "peer teaching" ...

Albert Porcar-Castell as co-author in Science paper "OCO-2 advances photosynthesis observation from space via solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence" published 13th of October. The paper gives direct ...

A study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, debunks a common misconception about the origin of oxygen-producing photosynthesis. Berkeley Lab ...

One of the key areas in all of biology is the evolution of photosynthesis. Some species of single celled cyanobacteria, through photosynthesis, forever changed the atmosphere of the early Earth by ...

Scientists have found that a virus can stimulate photosynthesis in bacterial hosts. The work, which was performed at the University of Kaiserslautern and Ruhr University Bochum was reported in the ...

Sometimes we assume that the natural way is the best way, or it doesn’t even occur to us to look for an alternative. Especially for the most basic things. But some scientists are questioning ...
