This research investigates the adaptive functions of leaf iridescence in plants, exploring its potential roles in camouflage, light capture, and photoprotection. By employing interdisciplinary methods, the study aims to uncover the genetic basis and ecological significance of this optical phenomenon across various envi…
Iridescence is a form of structural colour which changes hue according to the angle from which it is viewed.
Blue iridescence caused by multilayers has been described on the leaves of taxonomically diverse species such as the lycophyte Selaginella uncinata and the angiosperm Begonia pavonina.
While much is known about the role of leaf pigment colour, the adaptive role of leaf iridescence is unknown.
Hypotheses have been put forward including 1) iridescence acts as disruptive camouflage against h…
