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

Relationship between Nitrogen Fixation Rate, Apparent Photosynthesis Rate, and Chlorophyll Content of Autumn Olive and Potential Impacts on the Competitiveness of Cohabiting Native Plant Species ...

How do photosynthetic organisms harvest light so efficiently? To help answer this question, researchers have developed an ultrafast transient absorption microscope with sensitivity approaching the ...

Yuan Xu, postdoctoral researcher in the Sharkey lab, uses a LICOR to measure the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. They found that under these conditions, plants photosynthesize more, which can lead ...

From growing smaller leaves to shape-shifting its insides, a desert flowering plant goes all in to flourish in the harshest of conditions. In 1972, researchers showed that T. oblongifolia best ...

This process, in which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen, is a reliable sign of a ...
