"Bioluminescent Breakthrough: The Rise of Glow-in-the-Dark Plants"

Light Bio, an Idaho-based startup, has created a glow-in-the-dark petunia that has become an internet sensation, with plans to expand to more petunias, glowing roses, houseplants, and even flowers that light up at the touch of a finger. The company's success with the firefly petunia suggests that genetically engineered plants may be more widely accepted. The plant's glow comes from genes of a bioluminescent mushroom, making it brighter and more sustainable than previous attempts with firefly enzymes.
