Rich, the Glowing Plant project does NOT have approval from APHIS as far as I know. BioGlow, a completely separate company developed by the researcher from SUNY, *did* get a letter: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/downloads/reg_loi/aphis_response_bioglow_032113.pdf

I'm not sure if they got a formal hardcopy letter, but they definitely *did* get feedback from USDA that the glowing plant would not be regulated under APHIS, because it does not use a plant pathogen for the genetic engineering.
