[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77570296, member: 628"] Unfortunately for the human taste of beauty, forest plants have no need to glow in the dark like those in the movie [I]Avatar. [/I]Fortunately for the human taste of beauty, we can genetically modify plants to glow in the dark. [URL='https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroom/stakeholder-info/sa_by_date/sa-2023/rsr-light-bio-petunia']Cleared as non-disruptive by the USDA[/URL] and now [URL='https://light.bio/beauty-and-science/']available for pre-order[/URL], the Firefly Petunia is set to become the first commercially raised flower species that glows in the dark. The Firefly Petunia emits a soft glow at a lux level similar to moonlight. It can be grown in pots, baskets, or gardens, quickly attaining about 8 to 10 inches in size with abundant white flowers, according to the company Light Bio, which made them. Although typically regarded as annuals, petunias can be grown indoors if placed in a sunny spot. They flourish under long summer days, preferring at least six hours of direct sunlight. Promoting vigorous growth will produce a brighter glow. Bioluminescence has been found in many animal species, including fish, invertebrates, and bacteria. The origin of this particular science experiment comes in the form of bioluminescent mushrooms. Scientists transferred four genes from these mushrooms into a tobacco plant, and found it glowed in the dark for its whole life. Continued below.
