Bioluminescent trees will replace streetlights? Most people know about light emitting organisms such as jellyfishes, fireflies and mushrooms.
Some time ago, genetic engineers transferred genes responsible for the luciferin and luciferase proteins into a tobacco plant. These firefly proteins were then manufactured by the tobacco plant, causing it to glow and emit light. What if this technology could be extended further to say, a maple tree or a juniper bush?
