This graphic made by NASA shows the path of glowing plants eliminating across the U.S., indicating areas suffering from flash drought. Red, pink and white areas show high fluorescence, while gray ...

Chlorophyll fluorescence is the reddish light re-emitted by photosynthetic tissues and organisms, she said, a measurement that serves as a proxy of photosynthetic energy conversion in plants.

"[Plant fluorescence] shows promise as a reliable early warning indicator of flash drought with enough lead time to take action," Nicholas Parazoo, an Earth scientist at JPL and lead author of the ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent ...
