Re: [DIYbio] Re: Phosphorescent Proteins and Plants

"It's a bit like taking a jet engine, cutting it into pieces, shoving a chunk underneath your car's hood, and expecting it to fly..."


I like that analogy. I've been tweaking with dumping some bacterial genes into plants and hoping for bioluminescence. But your analogy summarizes the challenges well. The whole system needs to be "built" from the ground up for that particular purpose. Anyways, not sure if this is the right topic for this discussion, as the main question was whether plants can utilize chemiluminescent molecules, such as strontium aluminate or zinc sulfide...
