For biochemists, it's the which-came-first question: oxygen production by photosynthesis or oxygen consumption by aerobic ...

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is a crucial indicator of vegetation photosynthesis, and in recent years, ...

Most orchid species have a symbiotic relationship with the natural fungi found in their roots. The plants provide the fungi ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have reported on the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein ...

Tinkering with the enzyme Rubisco, they created plants that respond to rising levels of atmospheric CO2 with increased ...

Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

Researchers found that some orchids abandon photosynthesis and feed on fungi when conditions allow. Instead of relying on ...

Scientists are studying C. merolae, an alga thriving in Italy’s volcanic Phlegraean Fields, to understand its unique ...

Band Shape Fitting (BSF), Three-band Fraunhofer Line Discrimination (3FLD), and Singular Vector Decomposition (SVD)—to retrieve far-red solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) diurnal patterns ...
