Lighting up the plant hormone “command system”

By Carnegie HQ
Stanford, CA —Light is not only the source of a plant’s energy, but also an environmental signal that instructs the growth behavior of plants. As a result, a plant’s sensitivity to light is of great interest to scientists and their research on this ...

Amoeba may offer key clue to photosynthetic evolution

By Carnegie HQ
Stanford, CA —The major difference between plant and animal cells is the photosynthetic process, which converts light energy into chemical energy. When light isn’t available, energy is generated by breaking down carbohydrates and sugars, just as it ...

How can we crack the biofuel roadblock?

By Carnegie HQ
Stanford, CA — Along with photosynthesis, the plant cell wall is one of the features that most set plants apart from animals. A structural molecule called cellulose is necessary for the manufacture of these walls. Cellulose is synthesized in a semi- ...

Steroids control gas exchange in plants

By Carnegie HQ
Stanford, CA — Plant's leaves are sealed with a gas-tight wax layer to prevent water loss. Plants breathe through microscopic pores called stomata (Greek for mouths) on the surfaces of leaves. Over 40% of the carbon dioxide, CO2, in the atmosphere ...
