One might ask what human eyes and photosynthesis have in common. The answer, a pioneering scientist at CU-Boulder says, is, “More than you might think.” Barbara Demmig-Adams has been named the 2013 ...

A new study highlights a literally shady practice in plant science that has in some cases underestimated plants' rate of growth and photosynthesis, among other traits. A new study led by a research ...

Errors in how scientists account for water loss from leaves may be skewing estimates of how much energy plants make through photosynthesis and cause errors in the models of how individual leaves ...

A new study led by a research scientist at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) highlights a literally shady practice in plant science that has in some cases ...

A graduate student in innovation design engineering at the UK's Royal College of Art has created a synthetic leaf that mimics the functions of its real counterpart. "I have the first photosynthetic ...

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants turn sunlight into the energy (sugars) that they need to survive and grow. For most plants, this happens in the leaves, which contain chlorophyll; a green ...

Green leaves are fundamental for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Their pigments are the predominant signal seen from space. Nitrogen uptake and carbon assimilation by plants and the ...

"The really interesting question is how a leaf with a certain form produces a certain function." Blonder developed a mathematical model to predict the functions of leaves based on three properties of ...
