Producing fluorescent plants to lure and trap insect pests

[...]we performed a series of experiments to evaluate interactions between insects and various types of tobacco. [...]combining this technology with pesticides could lead to an effective push-pull strategy to manage and kill S. litura. Photoresponse is widespread among insects (Casper et al., 2021). [...]we can engineer fluorescent proteins that are compatible with the spectral sensitivity of specific insect photoreceptors and lure particular insects to particular plants.
