August 2011 Annu Rev Plant BiolSynopsis of Social media discussions
Overall, posts express high interest and moderate agreement about the importance of photosynthesis' evolution, illustrated by references to key events like the great oxygenation and fossil discoveries. Words like 'fascinating' and 'breakthrough' convey enthusiasm, while skepticism about certain explanations adds nuance to the supportive tone.
Agreement
Moderate agreementMost discussions acknowledge the importance of the evolution of photosynthesis, with some skepticism about its explanatory power, reflecting overall support with minor reservations.
Interest
High level of interestMany posts demonstrate high curiosity and engagement, discussing technical details, fossil evidence, and atmospheric effects, indicating strong interest.
Engagement
Moderate level of engagementPosts referencing specific scientific discoveries, like the protein in land plants or fossil cyanobacteria, show active participation and deep engagement with the research.
Impact
Moderate level of impactThe discussions highlight the profound influence of photosynthesis on Earth's atmosphere, evolution, and life, emphasizing its significance as a transformative event.

Fascinating! "It's not an exaggeration to suggest that the most significant event on Earth was the evolution of photosynthesis." @jtimmer.bsky.social

Homosexual noncompliance
When the light which reached Earth from this galaxy was emitted, Earth was frozen over, possibly thanks to reduced atmospheric CO2 brought about by the evolution of photosynthesis.
Earth was 3,800 million years old; the most complex living thing was, maybe, sponges.

And here is one of them. We model gene regulatory networks, compare them and analyze evolution of photosynthesis. By comparing multiple networks we find high confidence regulators for photosynthesis (or any pathway you care to study really); @donat.bsky.social again

Evolution and Development of Photosynthesis in Earth's History
Photosynthesis began early in Earth's history as a non-oxygenic process, with oxygenic photosynthesis emerging around 2.4 billion years ago, transforming life and the atmosphere. This evolution involved gene transfer, endosymbiosis, and biochemical adaptations.

We know the evolution of photosynthesis, leaves, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. “God done it” isn’t logical - we know where they came from, nor analytical since no analyzing is involved.

@robertddyson.bsky.social (Bluesky)It's an illusion to think that we are not part of the natural world. Just think that in the beginning there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. That corrosive gas was created by the evolution of photosynthesis totally changing the biosphere. We are another disruptor. I agree we should give it thought.

@tpawap (Twitter)@ProtoRenai33201 Funny theory. For a test of evolution you can look up the Luria–Delbrück experiment for example. But it's still very vague to me what you think the problem with the evolution of photosynthesis is. Maybe focus on that rather than meandering onto other topics.

@anandamide.bsky.social (Bluesky)When the light which reached Earth from this galaxy was emitted, Earth was frozen over, possibly thanks to reduced atmospheric CO2 brought about by the evolution of photosynthesis. Earth was 3,800 million years old; the most complex living thing was, maybe, sponges.

@stephaniemg8 (Twitter)@absoluttravesty @Devon_Eriksen_ The sun will run out of fuel eventually, this is indisputable. Survivor bias, just because something has always happened a certain way doesn't mean it always will. The earth has a history of asteroid impacts, ice ages, even an evolution of photosynthesis almost wiped out life.

@ElohimHandle (Twitter)@KareMHaret @Makelegs @RyanMaue About a billion years ago we had the great oxygenation with the further evolution of photosynthesis, which caused a massive die off of most life on earth. Before that there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere. As such we would suffocate quickly.

@madpeepdrew (Twitter)@jackiepaper162 @Credalytics @ECOWARRIORSS The homo genus evolved to harness the power of fire and that evolutionary leap is as significant as the evolution of photosynthesis. There will be an adjustment but as long as we aren't slipping back into a glaciation cycle I'm not concerned.

Also, a leaf can capture up to 80% of the green light that hits it, because chlorophyll is layered (https://t.co/bjYub1R3Ch).

@jeffanddonkeys.bsky.social (Bluesky)7. It is a fact of whole system science - nobody will try to refute this, it's an "everyone knows" thing - that since the evolution of photosynthesis, the atmosphere went from a CO2 concentration probably up in the 30% of total range, to 280 ppm (or ppb, I can never remember.)

view full postFebruary 19, 2013
Abstract Synopsis
- Photosynthesis began early in Earth's history, initially as a type that did not produce oxygen, but the development of oxygenic photosynthesis around 2.4 billion years ago dramatically transformed life and Earth's atmosphere.
- This revolution led to new biosynthetic pathways, modifications in electron carriers and pigments, and different methods of fixing carbon, shaping modern photosynthesis.
- The evolutionary journey of photosynthetic organisms is complex, involving lateral gene transfer and endosymbiotic events, with ongoing research combining genetic, biochemical, and physiological data to better understand their origins.]
