A team has developed a model that treats photosynthesis as a dynamic process rather than an activity that either is or is not happening. This allowed the group to examine the impacts of the many ...

Using a three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model validated in real greenhouse conditions, they found that enhancing parameters such as light quantum efficiency under limiting light (κ₂LL) and ...

The University of California opened its doors in 1869 with just 10 faculty members and 40 students. Today, the UC system has more than 300,000 students and 265,000 faculty and staff, with 2.5 million ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Scientists report a new mathematical computer model that is used to understand how much yield is lost as soybean crops grapple with minute-by-minute light fluctuations on cloudy and sunny days.

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Various processes are occurring inside the living organism. Each of these processes has its essentiality and is thus important for the survival of the organisms. One ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Komorebi is a Japanese word that describes how light filters through leaves--creating shifting, dappled "sunflecks" that illustrate plants' ever-changing light environment. Crops ...
