Plants with Superpowers

Plants possess superpowers such as the ability to remove pollutants from soil, and the power to summon the natural enemy of the bugs that eat their leaves. Today we'll be introducing their superpowers and how they're used in the latest biotechnology. There's a new plant-based material that is harder and tougher than steel, and a cloning technique for increasing a scarce bamboo that is used to make traditional items. Japan's affinity with nature can be seen in these unique studies.
