Special eye drops containing photosynthetic machinery from spinach leaves have helped combat dry eye, a new mouse experiment ...

Scientists have achieved a remarkable feat by enabling mouse eyes to perform part of the photosynthetic process using ...

Boosting energy conversion at the canopy level is crucial for augmenting biomass and crop productivity, with factors like leaf photosynthesis efficiency, canopy architecture, and leaf chlorophyll ...

The story of life on Earth can’t be told without photosynthesis, the process by which plants (and some other lifeforms) convert sunlight into chemical energy. Now, a team of researchers has announced ...

Accurately predicting how plants allocate dry matter to fruits remains a major challenge in crop modeling, especially under controlled greenhouse conditions. This study presents a new simulation ...

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

What if your eyes could use light to heal themselves? Drawing inspiration from how plants harness sunlight, researchers at ...

Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking nature has perfected the art of turning sunlight into sugar.
