Researchers in England have developed a concept for a “solar leaf,” or an amalgamation of biological inspiration and photovoltaic technology. With a leaf-like shape, transpiration feature, and the ...
Leaf vasculature plays a pivotal role in nutrient transport and leaf morphology. A new study in Brassica rapa reveals the developmental trajectories of vascular tissues in Chinese cabbage using single ...
A study published in Science Advances shows that, in moss and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, commonly known as thale ...
Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and CO₂ for photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance photosynthetic capacity.
Salk Institute scientists create high-resolution atlas showing how droughts affect plant cells and identify a gene that could be targeted to create more resilient crops LA JOLLA (March 19, 2026)—The ...
Rates of photosynthesis can be lower in plants grown under conditions of high leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (VPD) than under low VPD. Leaf phenotype plasticity is a primary factor determining ...
