While plants like rice continued using an old form of photosynthesis known as C3, others like corn and sorghum developed a ...

Livelihood diversity wasn't just a feature of ancient African societies; it was key to survival. New research covering ...

C3 plants include cereals (wheat and rice), cotton, potatoes and soybeans. This process is named for the three-carbon compound 3-PGA that it uses during the Calvin cycle. C4 photosynthesis ...

Plants using C4 photosynthesis grow 20-100 percent quicker than more common C3 plants by altering the shape, size and structure of their leaves and roots, according to a new study.

New research analyzing isotopes from ancient African remains reveals how societies adapted strategies to survive major climate change.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made life hard for a lot of researchers. For one, they could not be physically in the lab and so many turned into computational approaches to further their research. This was ...

"The difference between C3 and C4 plants, like rice and maize, is not different genes. They haven't evolved into different genes.

Scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making them ...

Salk scientists discovered a stretch of DNA in both C3 plants, like wheat and soybeans, and C4 plants, like corn and sorghum, that is responsible for optimizing C4 plant photosynthesis and making ...
