New light-emitting tree or alternative lighting

According to the latest report, a research project on luminescent plants has attracted widespread attention from investors. The initial goal of this project was to raise $65,000, and by the end of the current one-month period it had already raised $243,000. The Synthetic Biology team that conducted the project claimed that the future trees could be used as street lights.

Researchers hope that their combination of DIY biotechnology and inexpensive lighting can be an open source. Project manager Antony Evans said: "Inspired by fireflies, our team used ready-made methods to cultivate truly luminous plants in the DIY biology lab in California." In the 1980s, scientists once produced a glow. Tobacco.
