Have you ever noticed how plants on your windowsill seem to lean towards the morning sunlight, gently tilting their heads? This enchanting sight is no coincidence but a subtle manifestation of the fascinating and intimate interaction between plants and light.

Her topic is ‘Along with “Brightness”: How plants react to light and shade’, exploring the radiant journey of plants in pursuit of light and shadow.
