Dec. 14, 2022 — Using cryogenic electron microscopy, a research team has revealed, for the first time, the structures and binding environments of pigments bound to a protein called a photosynthetic antenna of the ...
Nov. 28, 2023 — Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...
Jan. 31, 2023 — Photosynthesis in plants and some bacteria relies on light-harvesting (LH) supramolecules, which come in different structures. So far, these LH molecules have not been artificially prepared. In a ...
May 24, 2021 — Scientists report that it is possible to detect and predict heat damage in crops by measuring the fluorescent light signature of plant leaves experiencing heat stress. If collected via satellite, ...
Aug. 29, 2022 — Researchers have reported a high-throughput method for screening rates of NPQ relaxation in field-grown plants, opening up the possibility to test hundreds of genotypes within a day and perform ...
Dec. 14, 2020 — Bright red, tasty and healthy, that's how we know and love bell peppers. In a first, a team has deciphered in detail at the protein level what makes them turn red as they ripen. At the heart of ...
Dec. 23, 2020 — How can conifers that are used, for example, as Christmas trees, keep their green needles over the boreal winter when most trees shed their leaves? Science has not provided a good answer to this ...
Dec. 10, 2021 — Green is a color that is almost universally associated with plants -- for good reason. The green pigment chlorophyll is essential to plants' ability to generate food; but what happens if they ...
Oct. 20, 2021 — A new way to detect early signs of harmful blue-green algae, which bloom in lakes, rivers and reservoirs around the world, has been ...
May 3, 2021 — Biologists have significantly enhanced the tolerance of blue-green algae to high light levels -- with the aid of artificial evolution in the ...
