This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

This study highlights the impact of the AP3 pathway in potatoes, showing enhanced tuber yield and photosynthetic performance ...

Photosynthesis isn’t just a single process. It connects two interrelated biological pathways, and both must proceed in synchronization for a plant to have success. But leaves also absorb CO 2 ...

By Dr. Chinta SidharthanUnderstanding how plants optimize photosynthesis under varying environmental conditions is crucial ...

Previous RIPE team members had shown that by adding two new genes, glycolate dehydrogenase and malate synthase, to model ...

“C4 photosynthesis evolved from C3 ancestors by partitioning parts of the photosynthesis pathway into the bundle sheath cell type, which is deeper in the leaf tissue,” says lead author and ...

Among the plant metabolisms in use today, some use significantly more efficient carbon fixation pathways, while others end up wasting a lot of the energy they obtained from photosynthesis with ...

University of Illinois scientists have engineered a potato to be more resilient to global warming. The scientists involved in ...

This study provides valuable insights into nutrient management in apple trees, suggesting a pathway to boost photosynthesis and yield by fine-tuning nitrogen and potassium ratios. By implementing ...

Corn, a staple crop introduced by Native Americans, now faces a precarious future due to climate change. This crop, pivotal in global food systems, may see significant yield declines as global warming ...

A team has engineered potato to be more resilient to global warming showing 30% increases in tuber mass under heatwave conditions. This adaptation may provide greater food security for families ...
