Photosynthesis is one of the most important metabolic processes in nature: It is critical for plant growth and thus for the production of plant-based foods. In close cooperation with the Max Planck ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

Ancient trees may have played a key role in regulating Earth's climate during the last ice age—by 'breathing' less efficiently. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A new ...

Berkley Walker didn’t plan on becoming a scientist; he wanted to be an entrepreneur. And he got started early on that goal: In high school in Portland, Ore., he started a granola bar company, which ...

The response of net photosynthesis to changing light-flux density by leaves of Lolium multiflorum (S. 22) and L. perenne (S. 321) is more adequately described by current models when a term allowing ...
