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

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The energy stored in ATP and NADPH helps turn these 3-PGA molecules into ...

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

This is the time of the year for planning! Whether it is the garden, the yard, flower beds, shrubbery, perennials, you name it, the spring itch has hit in a big way. Catalogs are coming to fuel our ...

A research group led by Prof. DANG Fei from the Institute of Soil Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. ZHONG Huan from Nanjing University, has uncovered a ...

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

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

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...

So, plants harness the energy from the sun to make food. Photosynthesis happens in the leaves of all green plants. Without photosynthesis there would be no oxygen in our atmosphere and life as we ...

Microplastics disrupt photosynthesis, leading to global productivity losses. Findings stress the importance of addressing ...
