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. 8, 2021 — Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — Newly published research has used a critically endangered species to show how trees modify leaf function to best exploit prevailing light conditions. The findings revealed numerous leaf traits that ...
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 ...
