Scientists have transgenically altered soybean plants to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis, resulting in greater yields without loss of quality. For the first time, RIPE researchers have ...

In a breakthrough for ag research, researchers have shown that soybeans can be transgenically altered to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and significantly boost crop yields. Researchers with ...

Grafting has long been the workhorse of clonal tree propagation, but a new study in BMC Plant Biology has pulled back the ...

Awash in a rowed sea of its brethren, a corn leaf relegated to the lowest rung of its stem spends much of a June afternoon doused in shade cast by the higher-ups. Then a gust begins pushing, pulling ...

Newswise — 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 ...

When photosynthetic cells absorb light from the sun, packets of energy called photons leap between a series of light-harvesting proteins until they reach the photosynthetic reaction center. There, ...

“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 ...

In recent years, nano-fertilizers have gained significant attention as a transformative alternative to conventional fertilizers. Nano-fertilizers enable controlled or slow nutrient release, reducing ...

Chemists have measured the energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins. They discovered that the disorganized arrangement of light-harvesting proteins boosts the efficiency of the ...
