Glowing plants are living organisms that emit light, often through a process called bioluminescence. This phenomenon occurs when certain chemicals within the plant react, producing light without generating heat. Scientists have been exploring ways to create glowing plants by incorporating genes from bioluminescent organisms, such as fireflies or certain types of algae. These plants can serve various purposes, including enhancing indoor environments and reducing the need for artificial lighting. Researchers are also investigating their potential applications in sustainable agriculture and environmental monitoring, as glowing plants could help indicate changes in their surroundings or signal the presence of pollutants.
