Thanks to a recent discovery regarding marine algae, scientists have developed crop plants that absorb a fuller spectrum of sunlight, resulting in better growth. The finding could also lead to increased production of biofuels.Because seawater absorbs the red spectrum of sunlight fairly close to the surface, marine algae are left to make do with the blue-green spectrum that reaches down to them. In order to use that light to perform photosynthesis, they produce a special blue-green-light-absorbing chlorophyll known as…
