WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2017 – The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) today announced a $15 million contribution – its biggest grant to date – to a five-year, $45-million research ...

Students will conduct hands-on laboratory research in the field of photosynthesis and plant molecular biology, working with genetically modified plants (Nicotiana tabacum, a well-established model ...

For the first time, researchers for RIPE (Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency) have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Salk researchers have discovered how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make staple crops including rice and wheat more resilient to climate ...

Artificial photosynthesis represents a breakthrough in the field of renewable energy, mimicking the natural photosynthesis process to capture and store solar energy. Recent developments have ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Photosynthesis is a chemical process by which plants, some bacteria, and algae convert energy derived from sunlight to chemical energy. This is an important process for biological life on earth ...
