A team of researchers made a groundbreaking discovery that could "turbocharge crop yields," according to the Boyce Thompson Institute. The findings pertained to the unique traits of small land plants ...

Scientists studying the plant have discovered a new way to boost the efficiency of rubisco — the enzyme that powers life on Earth — and hope to transfer the trick to crops.

One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to ...

Researchers have figured out how hornworts, a relative of mosses, condense RuBisCO into specialized compartments ...

Present day life fully depends on photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae that capture and convert CO 2. At the heart of these processes lies an enzyme called Rubisco that captures more than ...

Be honest – when you look at a rich green meadow, does a solar power plant come to mind? Of course not. However, plants do something very similar: they convert the energy from sunlight into usable ...
