Plants are under constant stress due to pathogens, heat, or other environmental factors. Proteins can become damaged as a ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

A structural analysis reveals how energy harvested from sunlight is moved to where it can power photosynthesis.

Researchers have discovered that plants under environmental stress reduce photosynthesis and prioritize breaking down damaged proteins to maintain cell stability. The process is controlled by ...

Cells get nutrients from their environment, but where do those nutrients come from? Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into ...

The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum have identified a mechanism in plants that, under stress, reduces photosynthesis and boosts damaged protein breakdown. The process is controlled by transcription ...
