The first plant pigment - chlorophyll - initiates photosynthetic reactions, which produce most of the food and oxygen that most animal organisms retain on Earth. Other pigments serve higher plants by attracting pollen to their flowers and attracting seed-scattering animals to their fruits. Pigments protect plants from solar radiation, antioxidant damage to cells, environmental stress, and attacks by microorganisms, insects, and predators. Pigments heal damaged plant tissues, help control growth, and act in many ways that have not yet been discovered. Be...

Speaking of new plants, your s...
