How we engineer a glowing plant using the gene gun

This video walks through some of the process for generating the glowing plant out of calli which has been bombarded with our gene gun.

This is really fantastic! I'm glad I ordered those seeds! My mother is in the biology/bacteria field and is really going to love this! It's a surprise.

[@preppertechnicianee6013]

Did they ever come in Are they still open

[@hitsongsa]

Every park needs to glow in the dark!

[@mewantbrains]

Can this be applied to humans If so I want to make my whole body glow in the dark enough so I don't need to use my iPhones torch to find my keys at night

[@187Shady]

Looking good. This was one of the first Kickstarters I backed & it's been interesting to watch.

[@jorgeasalas]

They showed it on cbs news, looks very promising

[@MichaelBennett-bu3jh]

This is fascinating!! 🤗🌱🌿

[@SolarWarden613]

Excellent work scientist

[@AaronFreeman]

I'm anxiously awaiting the kitchen top version of this technology!

[@e0n662]

Is there an article linked to this with full methodology?

[@zanemaingot9690]

Can't wait for them to be released

[@thotparraka6690]

I take this tool and all necessories equipments.

[@juliembs975]

Which plant will you use for the glowing thing ?

[@isiahabreu3154]

How clean are your medias tho 🤔 for contracting the tobacco part for when it’s glowing

[@andreaslinden3262]

Hi, I've heard that your glowing plant project is down! Is that correct or can I buy a glowing yes no please let me know. PS- Do you have a website? Have a great day!

[@dylanross235]

I wanted to know is it possible take a magnolia tree an engineer to have white bark?

[@tayyabakhan1695]

can we make this at home?

[@joshjewell1960]

How did this turn out?

[@andreaslinden3262]

I would love it to buy a glowing plant but unfortunately your plants are just dimming right!!? Can you fix it and will you shipping internationally one day yes no please let me know and please don't give up to create a really true glowing flower... a glowing rose or something like that!! ✌️

[@tweaker1bms]

Am curious, why are you bothering to take the herbicide resistance gene out? Is it a precaution against unwanted propagation or are there patent issues? From what I heard many herbicide resistance patents for crops are expiring soon.

[@AntonyEvansUK]

We want to avoid creating a weed...

[@Tystros]

This is not an update, its just a "How do we make the plants" video. The same video you could have made some month ago.

[@TAXABiotechnologies]

Good point Tystros. I've changed the title to reflect this. It's part of a longer update which we just posted to our kickstarter page, you can read that update here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/antonyevans/glowing-plants-natural-lighting-with-no-electricit/posts

[@Tystros]

Glowing Plant thanks!

[@Sebastian-gr4xy]

I thought you guys were using agro-bacteria flower dip method to transfer the lux genes. Have plans changed to using a gene gun?

[@TAXABiotechnologies]

we've always been using the gene gun for the final product, for regulatory reasons

[@linuxlinus]

I would like to pre order some seeds but I have yet to see an video of an actual glowing plant, I do not trust just acouple of images on your website, I want to see how good they actually glow before I spend my money, so please post a video showing your grow room in the dark! :)

[@TAXABiotechnologies]

Hi Linuxlinus. The plants are still dim, visible to the naked eye in a dark room but not yet bright enough to capture in standard video cameras. The photos you see are mostly 30 second exposures.

[@mayawiseman4562]

Glowing Plant I bought a glowing "snake plant" recently...I havent noticed it glow at all. I like the concept and the species of plant I was intrested in having in my home regardless... I would have bought the snake plant regardless but I thought why not this one. So in all, love the plant not sure if it glows.

[@jorgeasalas]

maya wiseman what you bought was probably a plant that was not autoluminscent but had symbiotic bacteria that produced luciferin.

[@AntonyEvansUK]

J Salas maya wiseman We've been told about this plant, it's not even as clever as symbiotic bacteria... they just painted the plants with glow in the dark paint. Cool and fun for kids, but a bit of a gimmick!

[@macredbeard]

Antony Evans Antony Evans what your doing is gimick & it's fucking disgusting :@

[@XpertThugGaming]

Can some one explain me the herbicide resistance part as a selectable marker ? I thought the final product would be having both herbicide resistance and glowing genes as a way to select them from non transformed cells. But the video says herbicide resistance shouldnt be in the final product

[@XpertThugGaming]

nvm i understood. The plants are intially both herbicide resistant and glowing genes..He then selfs the plant to obtain the progeny in which 1 out 16 contains glowing genes on both chromosomes and no herbicide resistance genes.

[@teiviramsey1374]

I would like to buy a seed that you have clone

[@CommanderZigg]

Oh, what abomination hast science wrought?! Just kidding, super excited. Can't wait to grow my own.

[@rickyboby8418]

Just for laughs 😁 I started by growing using a TV for photosynthesis. It was possible for a while... But I've come to realize my methods where wrong after all, the process is genetically. Inheritance, not environmental exposure, partly

[@seriousblakk]

man show us the glowing affects haha like wheres that footage

[@anusandhanwithdevantiwari181]

Please upload this vedeo in hindi

[@isiahabreu3154]

Cause you can smoke tobacco

[@Ubya_]

still waiting...

[@tachles_math]

You already know i'm not here for the tobacco 😉

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

Lol gene gun, radiation gun to activate mutation Sooo beat me to it, but u have to understand. Being poor has much to do w/ the difficulty society bottlenecks in hierarchy
