Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...
All plants and animals respire, releasing energy from food. At the cellular level, this process occurs in the mitochondria. But there are differences at the molecular level between how plants and ...
Total plant N also scaled nearly isometrically with total dry mass in our individual studies (average exponent ≈ 0.98 for the four studies; Table 3 and Fig. 1c). Similar to respiration, however, field ...
New research suggests that plant respiration is a larger source of carbon emissions than previously thought, and warns that as the world warms, this may reduce the ability of Earth's land surface to ...
Researchers reveal that India’s sacred lotus can produce heat internally. This rare thermogenesis supports pollination, ...
New research provides the first-ever, atomic-level, 3D structure of the largest protein complex (complex I) involved in the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain. The results could unlock new ...
New research, led by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, suggests that plant respiration is a larger source of carbon emissions than previously thought, and warn that as the world warms, this may ...
