Glowing Plants

[FireFox]

This could be pretty interesting, scientist are trying to develop glowing plants in a bid to remove street lights.

 

I'd like to see that :)

Reminds me of Avatar.

Yea same here, if the world looks even remotely like that in the near/distant future then sweet :)

I wonder if your poop will glow as well if you eat those plants.

rofl I didn't think of that, that would make you a little worried wouldn't it :)

Aw I'm disappointed, thought this thread was about PANTS.  :lol:

Thats what I thought as well!

im waiting for Sheldon to perfect glowing gold fish

 

[tabuburn]

Didn't scientists already make rats that glow in the dark?

[DrSpychology]

Cool idea, but at this point, the plant isn't glowing yet. I won't back this untill I see a glowing plant, not some DNA that could possibly make glowing plants

[Nicktrance]

In order to light the road it must be extremely bright not just slightly glow in the dark though, unless they just want to replace cats-eyes  which would be pointless.

 

Could be funny if it was edible... dangerous for animals if it isn't

I thought it was about growing plants.. what is this LinusFarmVilleTips?

[FireFox]

LinusFarmVilleTips?

 

If that happens I'll be unsubscribing lol

 

My mum plays that awful game

[swifty7]

so basically the scientists want to change Earth to Pandora...all we need now is the Hallelujah floating mountains.

[ShiverMePenguins]

it makes me think about the fact of how disconnected we are with this planet. 

 

 

and now i'm going to spend the day in the woods. have fun everyone.

[BeyondNight]

Well its definitley possible, it just remain to be seen if it will be done and inplemented, i really like the idea of using it as bio lighting wherever possible.

[Bob]

This is kinda like Iron Man 3.

[Raj8396]

I hope it has an off switch :P

A rabbit, even.

 

 

Nuclear Albino, never seen one of those before lol

[Pyrobits]

Oh Stanford, awesome as always.  Speaking as a Biology major, engineering bioluminescent plants isn't all that difficult; the trick is getting the plants to produce enough light to be useful.   It's a fresh idea to 'go green,' I could definitely get behind this project!

[Ghost]

Kickstarter has a glowing plant project at the moment. Worth a look.

[Tomatodude95]

I know that it is possible in some animals already, let's see how useful that really is though!

[tabuburn]

A rabbit, even.

 

This is what happens when rabbits are subjected to gamma radiation. The Bunny Hulk.
