- Title
Plants' Photo-Protection.
- Abstract
The article reports on a British study led by the University of Sheffied and Queen Mary, University of London, which discovers the photo-protection in plants. The study found that plants employ the process of photo-protection to protect their leaves from damage by sunlight when they are faced with extreme climates. Researchers have determined how such process takes place. It says that the new findings could have implications both for adapting plants to the threat of global warming and for helping humans better harness solar energy.
