All about the way plants turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food.

Salk researchers have discovered how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help ...

Scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making them ...

Making sure you're taking in clean air as much as possible is crucial for your health. To purify and clean your air, plants use a process called photosynthesis. While humans inhale oxygen and exhale ...

“We don’t just need to increase photosynthesis, we need to future proof it,” Long says. The germ of the idea for the RIPE ...

While plants like rice continued using an old form of photosynthesis known as C3, others like corn and sorghum developed a newer and more efficient version called C4.

Scientists may have finally found a way to grow plants without sunlight, which could revolutionize how we grow food.

As soil dries, plants limit water loss by closing tiny apertures called stomata in their leaves. A global analysis reveals ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary path from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, discovering key regulatory changes that could enhance crop resilience and efficiency. This groundbreaking research paves the ...

Salk scientists discover how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make crops like rice and wheat more resilient to climate change Cross sections ...

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

Researchers often look to photosynthesis—a process that turns sunlight into chemical energy in plants and bacteria—as a model ...
