A weird-looking parasitic plant has discarded all its photosynthesis machinery – and nevertheless has found a way to thrive.

A team has modeled improving photosynthesis through enzyme modification and simulated soybean growth with realistic climate conditions, determining to what extent the improvements in photosynthesis ...

A team has developed a model that treats photosynthesis as a dynamic process rather than an activity that either is or is not happening. This allowed the group to examine the impacts of the many ...

As you may recall from elementary school science class, photosynthesis is where plants absorb energy from sunlight and use it to create their own food from carbon dioxide and water. The process has ...

Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it. Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins ...

Scientists think they've found a way to harvest more electricity from plants, a finding that could ripple out to other renewable energy technologies. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011.
