Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Lab breakthrough: Scientists evolved Synechocystis cyanobacteria to withstand rapid light intensity swings lethal to normal strains. Agricultural potential: Findings could guide genetic improvements ...
