Rates of photosynthesis can be lower in plants grown under conditions of high leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (VPD) than under low VPD. Leaf phenotype plasticity is a primary factor determining ...

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 ...

Rodgers & Hammerstein could have been describing the Berkshires when they wrote “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” Without sunlight, we would have no flowers, trees, veggies, shrubs or even grass — just ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...
