New Approach to Boosting Crop Yield by Incorporating Strategies from a Fast-Growing Algae

A new study provides a framework to boost crop growth by incorporating a strategy adopted from a fast-growing species of green algae. The algae, known as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, contain an organelle called the pyrenoid that speeds up the conversion of carbon, which the algae absorb from the air, into a form that the organisms can use for growth.

Extra CO2 Does not Always Stimulate Wetland Growth, Study Says

The existence of wetlands throughout the globe has been subjected to the risk of drowning from increasing seas. However, for decades, researchers had a belief that one more aspect of climate change—growing carbon dioxide (CO2)—could trigger additional plant growth. This allows coastal wetlands to grow pretty quickly to outpace sea-level increase.
