Everyone knows that trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide out of the air. Now, plant leaves are tackling global warming in another way — by serving as models for a technology that ...

At 14-hour day length, 25 C leaf temperature, 9 mm Hg vapor-pressure deficit, and 1.17 joules $\text{cm}^{-2}\text{min}^{-1}$ irradiance, the diurnal change in daily photosynthesis of the cultivated ...

Increased leaf phosphorus (P) concentration improved the water-use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance of regularly defoliated white clover plants by decreasing the rate of daily transpiration per ...

Researchers in England have developed a concept for a “solar leaf,” or an amalgamation of biological inspiration and photovoltaic technology. With a leaf-like shape, transpiration feature, and the ...
