A group of proteins in plant cells plays a vastly more important role in regulation of photosynthesis than once thought, according to new research. The research is an important step towards fully ...

In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds ...

Aquaporins, a family of integral membrane proteins, play a pivotal role in regulating water transport and solute movement across cellular membranes in plants. Their function is intimately linked with ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis is a brilliant invention of nature, but that’s not stopping scientists from trying to make it even better. New research published today in Nature describes how a team at the University ...

Humans adjust to changes in temperature by putting on a sweater or taking off layers. Plants adjust to temperature changes, ...

Alizée Malnoë ascends a spiral staircase to Myers Hall’s fourth floor “greenhouse,” one lacking windows. Just within stands metal shelving, housing trays of seedlings haloed by grow lights. She ...

Scientists think they've found a way to harvest more electricity from plants, a finding that could ripple out to other renewable energy technologies. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011.

A team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and the University of Delaware made an artificial way of photosynthesis to grow plants. Photo shows a "moss table", which demonstrates ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A weird-looking parasitic plant has discarded all its photosynthesis machinery – and nevertheless has found a way to thrive. A new ...

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 ...
