Snap beans are cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that are cultivated for their fleshy immature pods that exhibit a wide diversity of pod shapes and sizes. The genetic basis of the snap bean pod shape is complex and involves the interaction of

Photosynthesis: light harvesting
Light harvesting is the first step of photosynthesis. It includes two physical processes: the absorption of photons by pigments associated with photosynthetic complexes and the transfer of the resulting excitation energy to the reaction centers, where it

Photosynthesis and the environment [PDF]
Nearly 240 years after Joseph Priestley’s influential experiments involving a mouse, a plant and a bell jar the need and desire to study photosynthesis and the environment has not diminished. In fact, it is well recognized that the relationship between photosynthesis and the environment is key to understanding the health of our planet, in addition to ...

Quantum design of photosynthesis for bio-inspired solar-energy conversion [PDF]
Photosynthesis is the natural process that converts solar photons into energy-rich products that are needed to drive the biochemistry of life. Two ultrafast processes form the basis of photosynthesis: excitation energy transfer and charge separation ...

What is photosynthesis?-A broader and inclusive view
In general, the word, photosynthesis, is considered synonymous with oxygenic photosynthesis, a process by which cyanobacteria, algae, aquatic, and terrestrial plants produce oxygen and carbohydrates, using light (photons), water and carbon dioxide ...

A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO2. In C4 plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role of CO2 diffusion in facilitating C4 photosynthesis.
