Since, as I understand it, the luciferin-luciferase reaction requires oxygen (I just read that fireflies glow by producing nitric oxide to temporarily prevent the mitochondria from consuming all the oxygen), might you not end up with a situation where your plants glow, but only in direct sunlight where photosynthesis produces a surplus of O2?
