A case in point: scientists have found a way to make photosynthesis better and this should lead to more productive crops. We learned in school that plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to create ...

Cyanobacteria, a single-celled organism known as "blue-green algae" even though it is not algae, also gets its energy from ...

Shaded plants use green and far-red light for photosynthesis. Findings could transform greenhouse horticulture.

The most vulnerable phase of a plant's life is the short time period that follows germination. During this phase, the newly ...

Photosynthetic cells are quite diverse and include cells found in green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the ...

Plants in the shade of other plants receive more light than scientists had previously believed. A team of researchers from ...

Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and producing oxygen and ... by using a pH indicator known as bromthymol blue (BTB). BTB is green when the pH ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Plants in the shade of other plants receive more light than scientists had previously believed. A team of researchers from Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) describe how, ...
