Sunlight is the energy source for photosynthesis. But a new discovery finds that cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, can grow in near-infrared light. Most life on Earth - plants, algae, and even some ...

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants and algae, emits faint red and far-red light when illuminated during photosynthesis. This so called chlorophyll-a fluorescence conveys information about ...

The effects of phosphate concentration on plant growth and photosynthetic processes in primary leaves of young sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants were examined. Plants were grown for 3 weeks on ...

Trees need sunlight for the same reason you need food. The energy from the Sun’s rays is a crucial ingredient in how plants make their own food that helps them power all their cells. Since trees don’t ...

Have you ever wondered why so many plants in our surroundings have leaves which are green in colour? Whether it’s a large ...

Earth is, by all measures, a giant solar panel. The sun provides us warmth and light of course, but its light also fires the engine that manufactures the basis of life on Earth for everything: food ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of chlorophyll in ancient Australian bacteria. The finding could lead to new types of bio-energy to power the future. Over the past 60 years scientists have known ...

The protein synthesis inhibitors chloramphenicol and terramycin, and light of low intensity were used to retard the rate of chlorophyll formation in illuminated dark grown pea leaves. In the control ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of chlorophyll in ancient Australian bacteria that could lead to new sources of bio-energy. Over the past 60 years, scientists have known of four types of ...

The natural control of chlorophyll activity has now been discovered by a team of scientists, outlines a new report. DGIST announced that the research team of the fellow Hong-Gil Nam and the research ...
