A new framework in Theoretical and Applied Genetics proposes boosting soybean yields by improving photosynthetic efficiency ...

It is possible to engineer increased mesophyll conductance in plants according to new research from the University of Illinois. Mesophyll conductance plays a key role in photosynthesis and refers to ...

Photosynthesis efficiency in plants is influenced by the type of nitrogen absorbed. Ammonium (NH 4 +) and nitrate (NO 3-) are the primary nitrogen sources, each affecting plant physiology differently.

For roughly half a century, scientists have tried to rewire photosynthetic organisms so that the energy they harvest from ...

Mesophyll conductance, or the ease with which CO 2 can diffuse through a leaf’s cells before reaching the location where it undergoes carbon fixation, plays a key role in photosynthesis. CO 2 faces ...

Current dogma holds that CO2fixation by photosynthesis requires additional ATP production via cyclic electron transfer, mediated by two distinct pathways involving the NADH dehydrogenase-like complex ...

This substitution, combined with the development of a new metabolic cycle, the MOG cycle, could potentially revolutionize carbon fixation processes, greatly enhancing plant productivity. The shift ...

A hybrid photocatalyst system from Science Tokyo tackles an overlooked flaw in artificial photosynthesis to dramatically improve CO 2-to-formate conversion. Unlike conventional designs where light ...

“The paper is a really very nice breakthrough. It’s the first instance where it has been possible to demonstrate that, by improving the efficiency of photosynthesis, there is an increase in yield ...

Delving into the nuances of plant nutrition, researchers have discovered that the form of nitrogen intake profoundly affects the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants. This pivotal finding sheds ...
