ABSTRACT:
Transgenic plants are created having incorporated into them a luciferase enzyme gene and a corresponding luciferin substrate gene. These genes are regulated such that for a certain amount of time after dark, these genes are expressed resulting in bioluminescence. Different luciferin/luciferase combinations may be utilized for these transgenic plants, depending on the desired wavelength and the plant species transfected.
