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 ...
Jan. 3, 2024 — Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis, which is why plants have evolved to have high chlorophyll levels in their leaves. However, making this pigment is expensive because plants invest a ...
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. 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 ...
Sep. 22, 2022 — Biologists have unveiled foundational new insights into the evolutionary steps these algae took to make their novel brown pigments, which are called ...
