Russian Scientists Create the First Glowing Plant
Without any special substances.
Russian geneticists have grown, for the first time, a plant that glows in the dark without adding any special substances or exposure to ultraviolet light. This is reported by bioRxiv.
The experiment was carried out on tobacco seedlings. To achieve bioluminescence (natural glow), the scientists added 4 enzymes from a glowing fungus to the tobacco. The genetically modified plant can be seen in the dark with the naked eye, and the light it emits can be captured even by a smartphone or camera.
In their report, the scientists noted that thanks to bioluminescence, the plant's further processes will be easier to track.
Currently, in nature, natural glow is found only in some worms and insects.
