"Bioluminescent Innovation: Illuminating Plants and Animals with Fungal Mechanisms"
Scientists have discovered plant enzymes that can perform the complex reaction of the bioluminescence pathway, leading to the creation of glowing Chrysanthemums and Firefly Petunias. This breakthrough allows for the visualization of plant molecular physiology and offers insights into plant responses to stresses, potentially impacting fields such as crop development and disease resistance. The technology, developed by Karen Sarkisyan and sponsored by Light Bio, aims to transform the horticulture industry with beautiful biotech creations and has the potential for applications in monitoring disease progression and drug screening.
