You are here because of a single, all-important enzyme. But don’t look inward to find ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, known more mercifully among ...

A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...

Hornworts, a group of small and often overlooked plants, may hold the key to revolutionizing agriculture and combating climate change. These plants possess a unique biological mechanism that ...

A new study yields insights into how an organelle called the pyrenoid, which helps algae remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forms via a process similar to how oil separates from water Plants, ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...

The left panel shows a type of single-celled algae known as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with its chloroplast (purple) containing only a single pyrenoid (green). The SAGA1 mutant shown on the right ...

Green algae, as well as plants, carry out photosynthesis. But, in comparison to most plants, this process is improved by algae. They are able to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis with the help ...
