. As light bounces off these structures within an iridoplast, the reflected waves interfere at certain wavelengths (SN: 6/7/08, p. 26),

Those structured chloroplasts also offer a survival benefit,

, the new research shows: They help the plants collect light. In a hybrid of two species — Begonia grandis and Begonia pavonina?—?the structures enhance the absorption of green and red wavelengths by concentrating these rays on light-absorbing compartments within the iridoplasts. Importantly,

“These iridoplasts can basically photosynthesize at low-light levels where normal chloroplasts just simply could not photosynthesize,
