dc.description.abstractThe discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish Aequorea victoria has provoked numerous studies to unveil the myriads of biomedical applications. Consequently, several studies also revealed the prevalence of fluorescence in different marine and terrestrial organisms. However, since GFP�s discovery or the Nobel prize award on GFP, the fluorescence has not been explored so far from India. The current study presents the widespread fluorescent organisms resources available in India for biomedical and toxicological applications. Fluorescence emission from different plant and animal components were examined by direct observations using UV torchlight. Investigation revealed that blue light excited fluorescence in several organisms. For the first time, this study observed GFP like fluorescence in many terretrial and marine organisms of India. Observations are indicating that fluorescent proteins have essential ecological functions that are yet to be determined. The examined plant and animal components were not bioluminescent. In comparison, the potential untouched research areas on fluorescence aspects are detailed. A thorough review of fluorescent organisms reported hitherto is also provided to spread the current knowledge on fluorescence.
