Plants Buy Us Time to Slow Climate Change – But Not Enough to Stop It New research from Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley shows that…
The new molecule can improve the yield of reactions for generating pharmaceuticals and other useful compounds. By mimicking photosynthesis, the light-driven process that plants use…
Researchers have assembled a high-quality Isoetes genome that furthers understanding how these aquatic plants regulate CAM photosynthesis to compete for carbon dioxide underwater, and how…
Photosynthesizing algae injected into the blood vessels of tadpoles supply oxygen to their brains. Leading a double life in water and on land, frogs have…
A new study shows oxygenic photosynthesis likely evolved between 3.4 and 2.9 billion years ago. Some time in Earth’s early history, the planet took a…
Boom in carbon-sequestering phytoplankton raises new questions about oceanic carbon uptake and productivity. Clouds of smoke and ash from wildfires that ravaged Australia in 2019…
In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by 2050, farmers need to grow 50% more food on a limited amount of arable land….
Genome analysis reveals chloroplast acquisition without gene transfer in photosynthetic sea slugs. Plants, algae, and some bacteria are able to perform photosynthesis, which is the…
Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But…
Blocked blood vessels in the brains of stroke patients prevent oxygen-rich blood from getting to cells, causing severe damage. Plants and some microbes produce oxygen…
