You are here because of a single, all-important enzyme. But don’t look inward to find ribulose-­1,5-­bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, known more mercifully among scientists as rubisco. Instead, ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...

When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...

Airports are testing algae-filled bioreactors as a biological alternative to conventional air filtration, targeting the headaches, fatigue, and respiratory irritation collectively known as sick ...

One of the most marginalized and in fact understudied plant groups, hornworts, has the potential to provide a long-awaited ...

Ancient fossils show how much warming tropical oceans can handle before plankton collapse, offering clues about future ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to ...

Bluestone Brewery, a local business run by Swansea University alumni, partnered with Swansea University researchers to take on this challenge through a Welsh Government-funded project. The goal?

New research shows that early land plants started influencing Earth’s climate hundreds of millions of years earlier than ...

Pigmented algae are well adapted to grow on exposed ice in the Arctic as the snow line recedes, raising concerns of a feedback loop that could lead to faster sea level rise ...

For decades, school textbooks have explained that oxygen on Earth is mainly produced through photosynthesis, a process that depends on sunlight. Plant.
