Microscopic pores on the surface of leaves called stomata help plants "breathe" by controlling how much water they lose due to evaporation. These stomatal pores also enable and control carbon dioxide ...
New insights into the structures and mechanisms of key proteins involved in microbial photosynthesis
In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists from Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Liverpool, Riken Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research, and ...
Photosynthesis remains one of the fundamental biological processes that sustains life on Earth, converting light energy into chemical energy. The electron transport mechanisms underpinning this ...
Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Interestingly, certain species can photosynthesize even in environments with low-calcium levels. Using ...
Researchers have figured out how hornworts, a relative of mosses, condense RuBisCO into specialized compartments ...
Using cryogenic electron microscopy, a research team has revealed, for the first time, the structures and binding environments of pigments bound to a protein called a photosynthetic antenna of the ...
One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...
Plants that live on land, such as spinach, grow by using sunlight to perform photosynthesis. How, then, do algae photosynthesize in the deep sea, an environment where only a little light reaches them?
