Plants are amazing! "Plants may lack our facial features, but the fact that they don’t have eyes, ears, or noses has not stopped them from developing ways to see, hear, and smell potential threats around them. While plants’ sensory processes are complex and mysterious, a new study mapping out protein interactions has given researchers new insights."

This dazzling ability serves multiple purposes: from luring prey like the anglerfish's glowing lure 🎣, to deflecting predators with a cloud of bioluminescent mucus 🫧, or even communicating with mates in the inky blackness of the deep. Each species has evolved its own unique way to use light, making bioluminescence a true marvel of adaptation. 🌌💡
