That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...
While 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, SciTechDaily explained, a new group of plants evolved to use C4 photosynthesis around 30 million years ago. C3 gets the job done, but it has flaws.
For decades, scientists have believed that meat-eating drove human evolution, particularly our enlarged brains.
Researchers at the Salk Institute study how C4 photosynthesis could boost crop productivity and climate resilience.
