Owing to the expected increase in the world’s population, yields of major crops must increase by over 70% in the next 30 years to sustain human requirements (FAO, 2009) and this should be attained ...

Present day life fully depends on photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae that capture and convert CO 2. At the heart of these processes lies an enzyme called Rubisco that captures more than ...

Several companies are working on breeding crops that are better at converting sunlight into energy. But there are simpler, cheaper, and faster ways to boost photosynthesis across any crop, claims ...

The factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis are light availability, water availability, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration. These factors can either positively or negatively impact ...

Photosynthesis—the process by which plants turn sunlight into food—may be for many people a reminder of high school science class and nothing more. But a growing number of scientists, tech ...

Photosynthesis is a chemical process by which plants, some bacteria, and algae convert energy derived from sunlight to chemical energy. This is an important process for biological life on earth ...

Most modern bacteria descended from ancestors who could convert the Sun's energy to fuel more than 3.5 billion years ago. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria use the ...

Plant cells Plant cells inside a leaf seen through a microscope. A group of proteins in plant cells plays a vastly more important role in regulation of photosynthesis than once thought, according to ...

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Various processes are occurring inside the living organism. Each of these processes has its essentiality and is thus important for the survival of the organisms. One ...

These are not perfect methods as the plant will also be respiring, which will use up some oxygen and carbohydrate and increase carbon dioxide output. Without enough light, a plant cannot ...

In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...
