Research explains how plants optimize photosynthesis under changing light
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
For research, plants are frequently grown under stable lighting, which does not reflect natural conditions. In a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simulating the natural interplay of light and shadow, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology

Study finds regulation of photosynthesis under changing light conditions
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Plants are commonly grown in controlled lighting environments for research purposes, which does not mimic real-world conditions. Researchers revealed the significance of two key proteins for the dynamic control of photosynthesis in a series of experiments with changing light conditions, simu

Research: Polarity proteins in grass shape efficient "breathing" pores
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Grasses have "respiratory pores" (called stomata) that open and close to regulate the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis on the one hand and water loss through transpiration on the other.

Research throws light on secret language of photosynthesis
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Scientists have been perplexed by the signals plants transmit to start photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into sugars, for decades. Academics from UC Riverside have finally cracked these earlier enigmatic communications.

How do algae photosynthesize in deep sea: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
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?

IIT Jodhpur researchers develop catalytic materials to produce high-purity
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
More than 90 per cent of the source of hydrogen is from petroleum feedstock, making it costly and out of reach of the common man. IIT Jodhpur's research team is working to find a viable source of hydrogen generation. The technology developed by the IIT Jodhpur team does not need any external

Research sheds light on how fluctuating oxygen levels may have accelerated
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): A new research has shed light on one of the reasons why animal evolution accelerated millions of years ago and according to scientists it is the wild fluctuations in the oxygen levels a billion years ago that could be held responsible.
