Glowing flowers illuminate homes and gardens with organic light

Recent discoveries enable researchers to efficiently harness the glow of bioluminescent plants using a native plant gene. The compact gene acts as a bridge between plant metabolism and light production, allowing for a constantly changing spectacle of natural light.

Bioluminescent plants are now even brighter

Scientists have created genetically modified bioluminescent petunias that emit an ethereal glow, making them up to 100 times brighter than previous plants. The new research builds on earlier discoveries and shows the genetic modifications also elevate luminescence in yeast and mammalian cells.
