With growing concerns over climate change and overpopulation, we urgently need to boost agricultural productivity. With the goal of creating a way to easily tell whether a plant is thriving or dying, ...

Fall officially started Sept. 22. Fall leaf tours in the New England are wildly popular. In the northern part of the country, ...

New research published in Current Biology has found that cyanobacteria use variations in the amplitude (strength) of a pulse to convey information in single cells. The finding sheds light on how ...

This phenomenon was largely the result of cold nighttime temperatures that painted the tree different shades as the ...

The more life in your soil, the better your crops will thrive. Soil biodiversity is the key to improving nutrient cycling, ...

By studying dichroism and polarization of fluorescence for chlorophyll a, b, bacteriochlorophyll and the corresponding phæophytins, these directions have been investigated.

Microalgae are gaining recognition as sustainable, nutrient-rich sources of bioactive compounds, including proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, which are essential for various food and health ...

Teaching takes advantage of the stunning coastline on the doorstep of the University as well as some of Europe’s best marine facilities, so you won’t just experience marine biology but also practise ...

The team essentially cultivated hamster cells and isolated chloroplasts together for two days, then checked that the animal cells had taken them up by looking for signs of chlorophyll. This ...

It was previously thought that combining chloroplasts (chlorophyll containing structures in the cells of plants and algae) with animal cells was not possible, and that the chloroplasts would not ...

This approach reveals that traditional satellite methods, focusing only on surface chlorophyll, significantly underrepresent the total biomass, particularly subsurface layers, and misjudge the ...
