Oscillations in the rate of photosynthesis of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) leaves were induced by subjecting leaves, whose photosynthetic apparatus had been activated, to a sudden transition from ...

Photosynthesis of Helianthus annuus L. leaves was transiently inhibited and respiration was stimulated when a leaf was detached from the plant by cutting the petiole under water. These effects were ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...

Light supplies the energy plants need to build up biomass. A research team is researching how plants adapt their photosynthesis to changing light. They describe a key molecular mechanism that ...

A research team in Taiwan’s Academia Sinica led by Dr. James C. Liao has recently designed an artificial carbon fixation ...

Green Plants manufacture their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplast is the organelle in the plant cell in which photosynthesis occurs. Primary product of photosynthesis is glucose ...

Current assessments of climate change could overestimate the amount of carbon that plants remove from the atmosphere. That’s because models of photosynthesis often leave out a poorly understood limit ...
