Around 95 percent of plants use C3 photosynthesis, in which mesophyll cells — green spongy cells that live inside leaves — ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary path from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, discovering key regulatory changes that could enhance crop resilience and efficiency. This groundbreaking research paves the ...

More than 3 billion years ago, on an Earth entirely covered with water, photosynthesis first evolved in ancient bacteria. In ...

Nitrogen and potassium are fundamental nutrients for plant growth, but imbalances frequently disrupt agricultural systems. In ...

This study involved growing both modern and ancestral soybeans from seeds in a greenhouse and measuring mesophyll conductance following shade-to-sun transitions using concurrent measurements of ...

Once emitted, VOCs are absorbed through the stomata and diffuse across the mesophyll cells of neighboring plants. The plant’s response involves intricate intracellular and intercellular ...

The molecular mechanisms underlying the trade-off between plant innate immunity and steroid-mediated growth are controversial. Here, we report that activation of the transcription factor BZR1 is ...
