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 ...

Rodgers & Hammerstein could have been describing the Berkshires when they wrote “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” Without sunlight, we would have no flowers, trees, veggies, shrubs or even grass — just ...

The image shows a high-resolution 3D model of the plant RNA polymerase PEP, which plays a central role in photosynthesis. For life on Earth, it is essential that plants carry out photosynthesis and ...

Scientists have uncovered a unique mechanism that regulates the opening of stomata in plants. Phosphorylation of the amino acid Thr881 on the plasma membrane proton pump plays a key role in this ...

By combining a custom-built optical instrument with physics-based modeling and machine learning, the study shows that leaf-level optical properties ...

Researchers created a photosynthesis-inspired molecule that uses light to store two positive and two negative charges, aiming to turn sunlight into carbon-neutral fuel. (Nanowerk News) Plants use the ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...
