Tokyo, Japan - Scientists have long studied which of the three primary photosynthetic eukaryotes (red algae, green algae, and glaucophytes) has come into existence first to unravel the biological ...

Researchers have developed an electrocatalytic process to allow plants to undergo photosynthesis without sunlight. This form of artificial photosynthesis may increase the efficiency with which food ...

The storage of photogenerated electric energy and its release on demand are still among the main obstacles in artificial photosynthesis. One of the most promising, recently identified photocatalytic ...

Net photosynthesis, dark respiration, and growth of Rumex patientia L. exposed to a ultraviolet irradiance (288-315 nanometers) simulating a 0.18 atm·cm stratospheric ozone column were determined. The ...

Photosynthesis is a reaction that breaks down water, produces oxygen, and fixes carbon dioxide in organic compounds, using the energy of light. It is an essential function supporting biological ...

Researchers compared the photosynthetic regulation in glaucophytes with that in cyanobacteria, to elucidate the changes caused by symbiosis in the interaction between photosynthetic electron transfer ...
