When my grandfather attended boarding school in his youth, he often went out to the forest nearby to pick glowing mushrooms for use during his late-night study sessions. When it was time for lights-out at 09:30PM, he would take out his freshly-picked mushrooms and use them for lighting to help him read his textbook.

[@nishatanannya1244]

What is the Name of that mushrooms tree? And where it can be found? Please tell me in which country that park is situated.

Why not make a transgenic plant using FGP or any other fluorescence protein? Seems cheaper to do that process once and then simply breed plants with that gene rather than this.

[@michaelinelegant1289]

That's a good idea, did you go to college for botany or genetics?

[@frankwalter1300]

Because fluoresccence proteins requires an UV light.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

@@frankwalter1300 these seems cool. I'm into gardening and as just interested in landscaping a pathway with these kinds of bioluminescent plants lighting the way. Is it possible?

[@duskmoss]

Shouldn’t they just start with a plant that already glows if not by a lot be cause like this you would regularly have to put the chemicals in the plant

[@davidcookmfs6950]

I would think that you could put the luciferase/luciferin in the plant's water supply, and allow it to be drawn up into the plant by capillary action rather than by high pressure. We used to do that with pigments to make different colors of celery, etc. in elementary school. The other thing I was wondering is whether the plant could use the light efficiently for photosynthesis. Sounds like a perpetual motion machine, so it probably wouldn't work, but hey, just wondering.

[@terminatedprotocolofficial]

That sounds less traumatizing for the plants too. That might work

[@jhndr0nia]

That‘s not gonna work, there is no way the roots are gonna absorb these molecules

[@dollythicke4265]

What about the issue of limiting the chemical that defends against the bioluminescence. That sounds like a slightly larger issue.

Indoor lighting is exactly what I had in mind.

How did the plant's immune system respond & what effect did it have on it's life span?...

[@jivikakulkarni5929]

It doesn't have an immune system like us btw, and it's only modified in the protein which makes the DNA recombinant i.e.,rDNA. So it doesn't have any effect on its lifespan, it's basically just a normal plant living it's normal life but illuminates

[@jhndr0nia]

[@farvision]

You have to soak the plant under high pressure every time you want to read your book? Seems to me that a purely genetic approach is the way to go. Also, what if you want to turn the light off? This would not be useful for reading at home. It might be useful to light paths.

[@mayakhodabakchian8388]

farvision the pressure is simply to introduce these enzymes within the plang

[@KatiaBellisle]

Forget the paths.... your eyes are adaptable already, to your environnment providing you give them a minute, and nature provided you with this.. Not chemichally enginneered. screwed up system

[@bnjyable]

Exactly, it is just enzymes that are being put into the plant. The enzymes and their bi-products will decay, so the plants will stop glowing. The time it takes can definitely depend for this, but often these don't last more than a couple days, and can be increased if the plant has an immune response to the foreign particles. With out genetically engineering the plant to continually produce these particles, you will have to continually inject them back into it.

[@KatiaBellisle]

I wish you knew french

[@KatiaBellisle]

I have a hard time with one sentence.

[@AllenHanPR]

Would be annoying if you can't turn off the plants though haha.

[@niklasneighbor6726]

Hide away a village deep in the woods. Instead of streetlamps glowing plants are lining the paths.

[@ronaldblack7642]

Well we have firefly petunias now just pre-ordered 2. Trees would be insane maybe one day.

[@hopefullyhigh]

About four years ago I saw a video similar for a crowd funded project called “glowing plant,” it even used the same chemical process to trigger the glowing, I invested over $100 and waited for four years just for them to ask for more money and then have it eventually keel over and die. They also tried to genetically modify moss to purify and scent air, haven’t heard much about that either. For anyone hoping you could have one of these on your windowsill in a month, don’t hold your breath.

[@mickbushly1146]

Caleb Harris I understand Your frustration Caleb I have been burned by other Companies. I just wanted to let You know You can purchase Glow Plant seeds on the Internet at 1Cent per seed I just bought 400 seeds but I don't know what sort of soil they grow in or are they light or moderate on the water needed when growing I am going to have to do research on this!

What is the thing that I thought in 2015. That has now come true. I also did a research on this because in our class 12th Animal Kingdom we have learned a lot about Bioluminescent bacteria.light-producing bacteria that are predominantly present in sea water, marine sediments, the surface of decomposing fish and in the gut of marine animals. While not as common, bacterial bioluminescence is also found in terrestrial and freshwater bacteria.
