The lantern tree is a very beautiful plant, which looks like a flower. It is called lantern tree because it shines in summer night. Why do lantern trees shine? Why do lantern trees shine? Let's take a look at the knowledge of lantern trees. Lantern tree is a deciduous shrub of Ericaceae. It grows in the middle of this country. The height is only 2-6 meters.

Some plants emit light, mainly because their leaves contain a lot of phosphorus and can emit a small amount of phosphine gas. Phosphine has a low flash point and can spontaneously ignite in air, so plants will emit light blue light.

The luminescence of other plants is attributed to the use of synthetic biology technology to extract fluorescein-producing genes from the DNA of these organisms, and combine them with special bacteria to transplant these bacteria into the DNA of plants. Breeding to obtain the seeds of this luminous plant. Another kind of luminescence of plants is to convert chemical energy into electric energy, just like many marine life.
