Purdue physics professor Yulia Pushkar (left) and postdoctoral researcher Lifen Yan work in Pushkar's laser lab. Pushkar and Yan are part of an international team using spinach to study the proteins ...

Vibrations enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis in spinach, based on new research. This finding could also apply to other plant species as well. Photosynthesis may be the chemical process most ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract When mannose is provided in the transpiration stream to spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaf discs, a series of specific and nonspecific changes ...

Salt accumulation in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves first inhibits photosynthesis by decreasing stomatal and mesophyll conductances to CO 2 diffusion and then impairs ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate ...

Gene E. Lester, a plant physiologist with the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Weslaco, Tex., was in the produce aisle of his local grocery store when a thought occurred to ...

New understanding of photosynthesis means that scientists are closer than ever to creating powerful solar panels that mimic how plants–especially spinach–get their energy. In the future, you might be ...

A team of Chinese scientists have transplanted photosynthetic proteins from spinach into animal cells, potentially opening the door to technology that could delay the ageing process in cells. The ...
