Lighting the Way: Advances in Engineering Autoluminescent Plants

Until recently, robust autoluminescence in plants has proven elusive. Two recent pioneering manuscripts (Khakhar et al. and Mitiouchkina et al.) expand our understanding of fungal bioluminescence to provide a new blueprint for engineering autoluminescence in plants.

Description
Summary:Until recently, robust autoluminescence in plants has proven elusive. Two recent pioneering manuscripts (Khakhar et al. and Mitiouchkina et al.) expand our understanding of fungal bioluminescence to provide a new blueprint for engineering autoluminescence in plants. Here we discuss translating a fungal bioluminescence pathway into plants, along with potential future applications.
