Glow-in-the-dark plants warn of crop pests

Spanish researchers have developed plants that not only glow in the dark but also shift color when they're under attack from pests or diseases, making it easier to spot problems early with standard cameras. This innovation could significantly reduce crop losses by enabling farmers to detect issues sooner than traditional methods. The potential impact on global food security is substantial, as it could lead to more efficient pest management and help ensure stable agricultural yields.
