      Hello @Rohit! Very unusual compunds that you can find in plants are…explosives! Some of my scientists friends created special plants that are able to absorb explosives from contaminated lands (imagine the training ranges or the factories where explosives are made!), in this way we have very eco-friendly ways to clean up the environment!
