Plant leaves need a large surface area to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. Dr. Emanuele Scacchi and Professor Marja Timmermans from the Center for Plant Molecular Biology at the University of ...

Most solar cells used on houses, office buildings, parking lot coverings, and other everyday structures tend to harvest a maximum of 24.5% of the sunlight they encounter.

Leaves are the primary plant organs responsible for photosynthesis. Their size, shape and angles — all affected by cell patterning and growth — can also expose more of their surface to the sun, ...

On the stem leaves, the same probes hybridized with bacteria occurring as dense, geometric clusters tightly bound to the living plant cells (Fig. 2d, e, 10 5 –10 6 methanotrophs per individual ...

Sphagnum mosses sequester large quantities of carbon into peatlands. The genomes of Sphagnum species contain sex chromosomes carrying genes that alter the growth and carbon capture characteristics ...
