| + | |||
| + | Plants are quiet but amazing. Every year, plants absorb an astonishing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. This process, known as plant metabolism, allows them to harness the power of sunlight and convert CO2 into a wide range of essential chemicals. The impact of plant metabolism goes beyond just cleaning our air. The chemicals produced by plants serve as vital ingredients in our everyday lives. They contribute to our food, animal feed, energy sources, fabrics, medicines, and countless other materials we depend on. The Maeda lab fosters collaboration among diverse students and scientists to unravel the intricate workings of plant metabolism. By understanding these complex processes in various plants, we strive to discover innovative solutions to combat climate change. Harnessing the remarkable abilities of plant metabolism will pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.[[Image:CO2N.png|right|300px]] [https://maeda.botany.wisc.edu/images/8/83/WSJ2022Maeda.pdf See also Maeda's WSJ story]. | ||
