Fluorescence in Plants

This article is a redirection from "Fluorescence in Plants", but doesn't mention fluorescence! Is betalin fluorescent?

Are other plant( constituent)s fluorescent? Yes: chlorophyll, at least. (and so this article should be linked to from "Fluorescence in Plants" - not redirected to)

What plants fluoresce?

o in the colloquial sense of making them stand out more to birds(?), etc.
  (as opposed to only in a more technical sense (chlorophyll) )

Why? (o to attract pollinators, etc.)

Are the beta-whatevers the only known plant compounds that fluoresce? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMH232 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have solved the problem by generalizing the redirect to Biological pigment. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:53, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
