A study study has uncovered the complex role of abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating chlorophyll accumulation in apple plants.

A. Stoll, of Basle, we observed the following reactions which illustrate a hitherto unknown property of chlorophyll.

Billions of tonnes of chlorophyll are made every year, on land and in the oceans, colouring the Earth and providing plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria with the nanoscopic solar panels that ...

ALGAL blooms, which occur when algae overgrow in bodies of water, can not only turn the water green but also kill fish and ...

This food-making process takes place in the leaf in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color. This extraordinary chemical absorbs from sunlight the energy that is ...

Loggerhead sea turtles are sentinels for changing oceans. In a new analysis covering nearly 30 years of data on turtle movements, sea surface temperatures, and seawater chlorophyll levels, Stanford ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Role of Chlorophyll in Photosynthesis ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 213 No. 1 (July 1965), p. 74 doi:10.1038 ...

Destarch a variegated plant – partly green and partly white. Make a drawing of the leaf. Place the plant in bright light for several hours. Test the leaf for starch using the 4-step starch test.

Nanjing University researchers have confirmed the efficiency of budget-friendly low-configuration spectrometers in retrieving ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...
