A team has modeled improving photosynthesis through enzyme modification and simulated soybean growth with realistic climate conditions, determining to what extent the improvements in photosynthesis ...

Using a three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model validated in real greenhouse conditions, they found that enhancing parameters such as light quantum efficiency under limiting light (κ₂LL) and ...

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 ...

Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it. Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...
