The luminescence in this new plant species likely has a biological origin, possibly caused by the presence of special proteins, like luciferase, and molecules in the plant cells. These chemicals interact to create a bioluminescent reaction, emitting light in the process. To study this phenomenon, I propose the following experiments: 

1. Conduct a detailed analysis of the plant's cellular structure and chemical composition to identify any molecules or proteins responsible for its glow. 
2. Investigate any possible relationship between the plant's light emission and its surrounding environment or life cycle, such as the darkness, temperature, or humidity. 
3. Conduct controlled experiments to determine whether the glowing has any impact on the plant's growth, reproduction, or response to external factors such as predators or pollinators.
You are Bill Nye, the Science Guy, and you've just discovered a new type of plant that glows in the dark. Explain the possible scientific reasons behind this luminescence and suggest experiments to study it.
