The mystery of the unclear biological significance of the ferredoxin/thioredoxin pathway in plants has finally been solved by researchers using CRISPR/Cas9. The researchers show that the pathway is ...

By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...

Photosynthesis is a brilliant invention of nature, but that’s not stopping scientists from trying to make it even better. New research published today in Nature describes how a team at the University ...

As climate change poses risks to plant growth and food supply, researchers have identified how iron deficient plants optimize photosynthesis and regulate light protection. Researchers have identified ...

Scientists from IISc and Caltech have discovered why energy in photosynthesis flows through only one route, unlocking a ...

Cross sections of C3 rice (left) and C4 sorghum (right) shoots. Both grain crops evolved from a common ancestor, but sorghum evolved to photosynthesize more efficiently. LA JOLLA (November 20, ...

Aquaporins, a family of integral membrane proteins, play a pivotal role in regulating water transport and solute movement across cellular membranes in plants. Their function is intimately linked with ...
