An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

Experiment results with various light scenarios (shafts of light) and different Arabidopsis variants in which the photorespiratory enzymes have been switched off. To the right of the plant images is a ...

Berkley Walker didn’t plan on becoming a scientist; he wanted to be an entrepreneur. And he got started early on that goal: In high school in Portland, Ore., he started a granola bar company, which ...

Without photosynthesis, life as we know it wouldn't exist on earth. When plants convert light energy into chemical energy, they release oxygen as a by-product. But over the past millennia, they've ...

Ancient trees may have played a key role in regulating Earth's climate during the last ice age—by 'breathing' less efficiently. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A new ...

Increasing production of a common, naturally occurring protein in plant leaves could boost the yields of major food crops by almost 50 percent, according to a new study. Plants such as soybeans and ...

Mankind is set to face a major threat in the coming decades: food security. The United Nations says food production will have to double by 2050 if we are to meet the needs of the ever-increasing ...
