May 10, 2022 In a recent study,botanists investigated the effects of increasing the amount of carbon dioxide channels in plant membranes, but could not detect any impact on photosynthesis in model tobacco ...
Nov. 21, 2022 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 ...
Aug. 28, 2023 An international research team has described seven previously unknown species of leaf insects, also known as walking leaves. The insects belong to the stick and leaf insect order, which are known for ...
Oct. 7, 2022 In fossil leaves, puzzling structures are often visible under the microscope. Researchers have now been able to show for the first time that they originate from calcium oxalate crystals. On the one ...
Nov. 17, 2021 A group of proteins in plant cells plays a vastly more important role in regulation of photosynthesis than once thought, according to new research. The research is an important step towards fully ...
Jan. 31, 2024 A new study has analyzed plant spore dispersion at its source, where rain droplets shake flexible leaves to initially disperse ...
Oct. 14, 2022 Miscanthus and sorghum -- both C4 plant species -- occupy a distinct niche of the leaf economics spectrum (LES), with greater photosynthetic rates and nitrogen use efficiency than more common C3 ...
Dec. 9, 2021 The mystery of grass leaf formation has now been unraveled using the latest computational modelling and developmental genetic ...
June 28, 2021 A research team has created a computer model to understand how plants make adjustments to store energy made through photosynthesis. Understanding these adjustments could help develop new plants that ...
Mar. 16, 2022 Redwood trees have two types of leaves, one to make food and the other to absorb water, found a new study. It's the first study to estimate whole-crown water absorption in a large, mature tree. ...
