Sunlight is the energy source for photosynthesis. But a new discovery finds that cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, can grow in near-infrared light. Most life on Earth - plants, algae, and even some ...

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet ...

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants and algae, emits faint red and far-red light when illuminated during photosynthesis. This so called chlorophyll-a fluorescence conveys information about ...

The effects of phosphate concentration on plant growth and photosynthetic processes in primary leaves of young sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants were examined. Plants were grown for 3 weeks on ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of chlorophyll in ancient Australian bacteria. The finding could lead to new types of bio-energy to power the future. Over the past 60 years scientists have known ...

Trees need sunlight for the same reason you need food. The energy from the Sun’s rays is a crucial ingredient in how plants make their own food that helps them power all their cells. Since trees don’t ...

Moss samples from the Fluxnet-Canada western peatland flux station in the Boreal Region of Alberta were measured in the laboratory to obtain the net photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll fluorescence of ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of chlorophyll in ancient Australian bacteria that could lead to new sources of bio-energy. Over the past 60 years, scientists have known of four types of ...

The natural control of chlorophyll activity has now been discovered by a team of scientists, outlines a new report. DGIST announced that the research team of the fellow Hong-Gil Nam and the research ...

The green compound known as chlorophyll, found in plants, enables them to capture solar energy and convert it into food via the process of photosynthesis. It’s also suggested to be a beneficial health ...
