By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Caltech have finally solved a decades-old mystery about how ...

Fertilizer does not actually “feed” your plants. Let’s be clear, plants get their food from sunlight. I know we may have heard about photosynthesis and not paid much mind to this process. I was the ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Scientists from IISc and Caltech have discovered why energy in photosynthesis flows through only one route, unlocking a ...

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 ...

Maize has a significantly higher productivity rate compared with many other crops. The particular leaf anatomy and special form of photosynthesis (referred to as 'C4') developed during its evolution ...
