Photosynthesis sustains virtually all life on planet Earth providing the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat; it forms the basis of global food chains and meets the majority of humankind's current energy needs through fossilized photosynthetic fuels.

The use of tracer carbon, as carbon-14, has made possible considerable progress in the mapping of the routes taken by the carbon atom from CO/sub 2/ into plant substances. The techniques of separation and identification that have made the progress possible lie largely in the region of chromatography and radioautography involving fractional-gamma ...

Models of Photosynthesis [PDF]
Our model of photosynthesis (8) published some 20 years ago in Planta has had an impact and seen application that far exceeded our expectations. Perhaps it is useful to reflect on what this model did and why we published it.

Photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis research [PDF]
Since the emergence of modern science, photosynthesis has been the focus of interest of many researchers because of its importance for all forms of life on this planet. In particular, remarkable progress has been made during the last two decades.

Reintroducing photosynthesis [PDF]
AbstractThis article reports on conceptual difficulties related to photosynthesis and respiratory metabolism of a Plant Physiology course for undergraduate students that could hinder their better learning of metabolic processes. A survey of results obtained in this area during the last 10 academic years was performed, as well as a specific test, aimed ...

Artificial Photosynthesis [PDF]
One-dimensional channel materials, such as zeolites and mesoporous silicas, are very attractive hosts for the preparation and investigation of hierarchically organized structures, presenting a successive ordering from the molecular up to macroscopic scale.

SummaryThe number of humans on earth is increasing, generating concerns about food security and spurring efforts throughout the world to increase the productivity of crops. If a way could be found to increase the yield of crops by, say, 20%, it would have immense impact on global food supplies.

The process in which plants, algae and certain bacteria acquire energy from the light energy and carbon dioxide from the atmospheric air then convert it to chemical energy i.e. carbohydrates that is used as fuel for cellular activity is called photosynthesis.
