Researchers at the University of Vienna, along with collaborators from France, Germany, Switzerland and the U.S., have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the ...

Plants are under constant stress due to pathogens, heat, or other environmental factors. Proteins can become damaged as a ...

Photosynthetic bacteria do not release oxygen during photosynthesis but can convert solar energy into chemical energy with remarkably high efficiency. They also utilize near-infrared light—wavelengths ...

Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Interestingly, certain species can photosynthesize even in environments with low-calcium levels. Using ...

Photosynthesis remains one of the fundamental biological processes that sustains life on Earth, converting light energy into chemical energy. The electron transport mechanisms underpinning this ...

Researchers have investigated the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein complex crucial to the photosynthesis of purple sulfur bacteria thriving in high-salt, high-alkaline ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum have identified a mechanism in plants that, under stress, reduces photosynthesis and boosts damaged protein breakdown. The process is controlled by transcription ...

At the L1 site, the pigment siphonein (orange) binds close to a cluster of chlorophyll molecules (Chl a610–a612, green), enabling efficient energy quenching. Too much sun can ruin a day at the beach.
