A weird-looking parasitic plant has discarded all its photosynthesis machinery – and nevertheless has found a way to thrive.

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Balanophora plants represent an extreme example of this shift. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis but ...

We will unravel the captivating process of photosynthesis—the way plants transform sunlight and air into the very sustenance they need to thrive. From the vibrant greens of the forests to the delicate ...

Humanity has known about the life-giving photosynthesis process for a long time, but studying it in real-world conditions has often been impractical. You've typically had to freeze samples to get a ...

Scientists have announced they are closer than ever to the ‘holy grail’ of biochemistry: artificial photosynthesis. By observing the first stage of the process in action, they say they’ve got a better ...

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

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 ...
