Have you ever wondered why so many plants in our surroundings have leaves which are green in colour? Whether it’s a large ...

Ever since he was an Ohio farm boy studying textbooks as he plowed, Charles Franklin Kettering has wondered why grass is green. When the invention of motorcar self-starters and the vice-presidency of ...

Studies focusing on terminal drought combined with heat impacts on plants of agronomic value remain scarce, and even less under field conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate leaf ...

Before I retired, I taught science to fourth graders in Midland’s GT program. As a scientist myself, I wanted my students to love science as I knew it: asking and answering questions about big ideas.

I had written an article on leaves during a series on plants. I wrote about the green called chlorophyll. Green is the color of life, nature, health and prosperity. It is hope in the spring; the ...

Dual emission carbon dots strengthen maize photosynthesis and stress tolerance by converting light more efficiently and reducing oxidative damage, offering a new approach to crop resilience in saline ...

Powdery mildew (Oidium heveae Steinm.) is one of the most important leaf diseases in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). However, physiological and molecular processes associated with the Hevea-powdery ...

In chromophytic algae the major light-harvesting complex is the fucoxanthin chlorophyll alc protein complex. Recently, we have cloned several highly related cDNA and genomic sequences encoding the ...

A new study has uncovered a novel P-type PPR protein, BoYgl-2, which plays a crucial role in chloroplast RNA editing and chlorophyll biosynthesis in cabbage. This discovery sheds new light on the ...

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed impossible, experts accomplished the first-of-its-kind feat thanks to two ...
