Plantwatch: Arctic microalgae perform photosynthesis in near darkness
Briefly

The discovery of microalgae in the Arctic capable of photosynthesis in near darkness challenges our understanding of plant adaptability and could inform agricultural practices.
These microalgae began photosynthesizing shortly after the polar night, thriving under light conditions that are drastically lower than typical European daylight.
Unlocking the secrets of these algae may not only help improve crop yields at high latitudes but also revolutionize indoor farming methods and space agriculture.
The remarkable ability of these microalgae to photosynthesize in such low light raises fascinating questions about plant adaptability and potential applications in various environments.
