[DIYbio] Re: Creating Luminous Plants - Amateur

Did you ever make a glowing bonsai tree?  I would love to see pictures if you got them!


Unfortunately, not. Quite difficult, wanted to get a chloroplast integration plasmid once, but no lab wanted to provide me with it. That would have been quite easy, PCR -> lux genes, kanamycin resistance, -> into chloroplasts and they glow.

You can get one synthesized though. Costs ~0,35$ per base pair, makes for the chloroplast integration backbone ~ 1000 $....


You could also do 6 PCRs from ususal chloroplast DNA to make the vector, and ligate them together. That would be cheaper, but more difficult though.
