The natural control of chlorophyll activity has now been discovered by a team of scientists, outlines a new report. DGIST announced that the research team of the fellow Hong-Gil Nam and the research ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long been trying to emulate the way in which plants harvest energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants are able to absorb photons from even weak sunlight using ...

While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at ...

This study examined the effect of increasing chloroplastic superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), or glutathione reductase (GR) activity via plant transformation of cotton on the ...

A team of scientists has taken us a step closer to unlocking the secrets of photosynthesis, and possibly to cleaner fuels. Their discovery describes the structure of a reaction center (from a ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new and sustainable way to make the chemicals that are the basis of thousands of ...

Photosynthesis has driven life on this planet for more than 3 billion years—first in bacteria, then in plants—but we don't know exactly how it works. Now, a University of Michigan biophysicist and her ...

It’s very easy to lose a single photon. That’s why it’s so impressive that photosynthetic systems rarely do. In contrast to photovoltaic cells, which currently top out at around 30 percent efficiency, ...

Photosynthesis is a process through which plants prepare its own food in the form of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Here we are giving Questions and Answers on ...
