Researchers reveal how new species treated as colour variant in plants
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Photosynthesis and green leaves were formerly thought to be vital aspects of plants. However, some plants no longer use photosynthesis and now obtain their nutritional requirements from other living things.

Overshooting climate targets could significantly increase risk for tipping
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Temporarily overshooting the climate targets of 1.5-2 degrees Celsius could increase the tipping risk of several Earth system elements by more than 70 percent compared to keeping global warming in line with the United Nations Paris Agreement range, a new risk analysis study by an internation

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

Researchers say plant roots identify the climatic conditions
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The unique climatic characteristics that a plant needs to thrive are determined by the characteristics of its roots. The nature of ecological trade-offs is questioned in a recent study conducted by the University of Wyoming that throws insight on this relationship.

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.

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
