Researchers succeed at generating 3D visualizations of chloroplasts' copying machines. For life on Earth, it is essential that plants carry out photosynthesis and ultimately produce oxygen and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The film explores the vital role of plants and the process of photosynthesis in sustaining life on Earth. It details how plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy and food through ...

The basis of all life on Earth is photosynthesis. So, what happens if it is disrupted? Today, advanced measurement tools can reveal how climate change is affecting plants' ability to process the ...

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.

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

A joint research team has developed a highly efficient photocatalyst that can convert carbon dioxide into the ...

For the past two centuries, humans have relied on fossil fuels for concentrated energy; hundreds of millions of years of photosynthesis packed into a convenient, energy-dense substance. But that ...
