Light has the characteristics of both a wave and a particle. Figure 1 shows the wavelengths of red and blue light. The distance between the peaks of the wave is measured in nanometers (nm). As that ...

Grapevines, essential for wine and raisins, suffer losses due to poor establishment and decline of newly planted vines. Advances in manipulating nursery light spectra show promise for healthier vines, ...

Schematic illustration of the circadian clock that regulates the photosynthetic production of the tea plant. A computational model was developed to study the circadian clock control of photosynthesis ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Light plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. It serves as an essential energy source for photosynthesis and also influences various physiological processes, including seed ...

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever observed in nature. Most of life’s engines run on sunlight. Photons filter ...
