- MIT engineers have been able to induce plants to give off a dim light for nearly four hours. And they believe that, with further optimization, such plants will one day be bright enough to illuminate an entire workspace. (Learn more: news.mit.edu/20...)

I hope they are going to call it a plamp
I fucken hope they don't
what about a plantern
Amazing...
I need to get out of the West Coast cuz everybody nh-white thinks like Europe here.
@@gassug2 lmao reminds me of PvZ 1 lantern plant 😂😂
Glowing plants cool. Would be nice to have a christmastree that glows itself!
Omg I never thought about that but yeah that would be sick af
Sick af my dude
Glowing olive tree
Reminds me of Moses meeting God
"A sufficiently high level of technology is indistinguishable from magic" - Arthur C. Clarke
Almost, comes from same low life third grade race. This one specifically.
Technology without science is magic
When my grandfather attended boarding school in his youth, he often went out to the forest nearby to pick glowing mushrooms for use during his late-night study sessions. When it was time for lights-out at 09:30PM, he would take out his freshly-picked mushrooms and use them for lighting to help him read his textbook.
What is the Name of that mushrooms tree? And where it can be found? Please tell me in which country that park is situated.
Sounds cool. We don't have those mushrooms in my country. Ma used fireflies instead.
Good job MIT researchers. Imagine living in a time where parks were illuminated by plants at night!! Can't wait.
I think that’s not going to happen any time soon in our time but maybe for our future generations if there lucky
@@MrNobody8903they’re now gonna start to sell a bioluminescent plant next year it goes by bio light they’re bio luminescent petunias
@@nombretaken9467already bought my 4
So when can I expect watching TV on these bad boys?
@A D bro wtf 😂😂😂
@A D Im still waiting bro
@A D 2021 go brrrrr
thats the kind of tech. we need in modern society!
Rolf Wolf I disagree.
Erin Lee thats perfectly fine for me :P
Why not make a transgenic plant using FGP or any other fluorescence protein? Seems cheaper to do that process once and then simply breed plants with that gene rather than this.
That's a good idea, did you go to college for botany or genetics?
Because fluoresccence proteins requires an UV light.
@@frankwalter1300 these seems cool. I'm into gardening and as just interested in landscaping a pathway with these kinds of bioluminescent plants lighting the way. Is it possible?
Shouldn’t they just start with a plant that already glows if not by a lot be cause like this you would regularly have to put the chemicals in the plant
Thanks to these bioluminescent plants I can read my Kindle in the dark!
I'm wondering what effect this has on the photosynthesis and the plants "rest"
Only way to know is to experiment! *puts on goggles*
MIT is already my rival
Glowing plants, gonna work on that in the future.
Indoor lighting is exactly what I had in mind.
Beauty for the residence.
How did the plant's immune system respond & what effect did it have on it's life span?...
It doesn't have an immune system like us btw, and it's only modified in the protein which makes the DNA recombinant i.e.,rDNA. So it doesn't have any effect on its lifespan, it's basically just a normal plant living it's normal life but illuminates
@@jivikakulkarni5929There is no recombinant DNA in this case
I would think that you could put the luciferase/luciferin in the plant's water supply, and allow it to be drawn up into the plant by capillary action rather than by high pressure. We used to do that with pigments to make different colors of celery, etc. in elementary school. The other thing I was wondering is whether the plant could use the light efficiently for photosynthesis. Sounds like a perpetual motion machine, so it probably wouldn't work, but hey, just wondering.
That sounds less traumatizing for the plants too. That might work
That‘s not gonna work, there is no way the roots are gonna absorb these molecules
What about the issue of limiting the chemical that defends against the bioluminescence. That sounds like a slightly larger issue.
Shut up and take my money!
I want terraria glowing mushrooms to be real. Immediately
Well we have firefly petunias now just pre-ordered 2. Trees would be insane maybe one day.
Thank you so much.
MIT never disappoints
Hats off 🎩
Daytime light can be absorbed and rediate back at night, natural capacitor type technique could be used.
About four years ago I saw a video similar for a crowd funded project called “glowing plant,” it even used the same chemical process to trigger the glowing, I invested over $100 and waited for four years just for them to ask for more money and then have it eventually keel over and die. They also tried to genetically modify moss to purify and scent air, haven’t heard much about that either. For anyone hoping you could have one of these on your windowsill in a month, don’t hold your breath.
Caleb Harris I understand Your frustration Caleb I have been burned by other Companies. I just wanted to let You know You can purchase Glow Plant seeds on the Internet at 1Cent per seed I just bought 400 seeds but I don't know what sort of soil they grow in or are they light or moderate on the water needed when growing I am going to have to do research on this! Good Luck with Your glowing plant endeavor!
This reminds me of Friends and her scientist boyfriend went all the way to Minsk for a project that bombed.
You have to soak the plant under high pressure every time you want to read your book? Seems to me that a purely genetic approach is the way to go. Also, what if you want to turn the light off? This would not be useful for reading at home. It might be useful to light paths.
farvision the pressure is simply to introduce these enzymes within the plang
Forget the paths.... your eyes are adaptable already, to your environnment providing you give them a minute, and nature provided you with this.. Not chemichally enginneered. screwed up system
Exactly, it is just enzymes that are being put into the plant. The enzymes and their bi-products will decay, so the plants will stop glowing. The time it takes can definitely depend for this, but often these don't last more than a couple days, and can be increased if the plant has an immune response to the foreign particles. With out genetically engineering the plant to continually produce these particles, you will have to continually inject them back into it.
I wish you knew french
I have a hard time with one sentence.
Imagine if one day such full grown tree is planted on street ...streetlights will lose their job
Knowledge when used for good produces wonders, incredible, without words to describe the size of the revolution that can happen.
Would be annoying if you can't turn off the plants though haha.
This is really interesting
0:35 book here is called paradise lost.
Nothing is a case. Read about Sławik Kraszennikow, then you will know what are you looking. God bless you brother.
An advantage to gene modified glowing plants: you can grow more with the plants seed.
1:26 A chemical reaction that makes "Lucifer in club"
Wow...just wondered...how much the technology grown👣
Hide away a village deep in the woods. Instead of streetlamps glowing plants are lining the paths.
Very cool!
Right! I dream of gardening with such plants. What do you think of these bioluminescent plants
keep them coming
A paste in head when you feel something high temperatures. Colgate. Ayrbed with neem leaf.
New type of streetlights? Great, more entertainments! But how about microorganisms and insects with which plants communicate and even depend on for 100% of their lifetime? Mean, plants aren't for us, they're mainly for them.
Plants are not fireflies...the enzyme they use to do this and this enzyme is called Luciferin...
Plants are for us and them
This is some legit Fallout-tier awesomeness!
so what do they will exhale
Co2 or O2
Does this needs to be reinjected every time you want the plant to glow?
Wish to go to your school in the future!
Understood ma'am.
What if something eats it, will that glow too?
What is the thing that I thought in 2015. That has now come true. I also did a research on this because in our class 12th Animal Kingdom we have learned a lot about Bioluminescent bacteria.light-producing bacteria that are predominantly present in sea water, marine sediments, the surface of decomposing fish and in the gut of marine animals. While not as common, bacterial bioluminescence is also found in terrestrial and freshwater bacteria.
Skyrim players, you can almost hear it, can you?

Reference as obscure as Sinderion's corpse. RIP
We understand at the scientific level maybe 30% of how our surrounding world works, a slow phase I would say
I always thought it would be cool to make the world look more alien like
Any updates in the project?
I'm curious too😄
each flower has it's own voice
Wow it is awesome
Eye catching. Anything on small muscle development.
Would be cooler if it could be switched off and on at will too.
Well this will not produce the chemicals needed to glow you need to start with a plant that can already glow and just selectively breed it to be brighter or to cause the plant to need to make light carnivorous plants would be where I start to try and make glow first
After eating glowing veggies, your stomach could glow in the dark as well ..
Glowing trees as streetlights? Glowing ferns in the home? HELL YES
the best thing i have seen in a while : )
cool as it is, couldn't we just soak any porous object in a pressurized vat of this and get the same result?
TESLA's NANO Science... the Man who created this our Modern world.
Good job MIT👏🏻🤝
any reference to the original paper?
Yes I have a question I just acquired seeds that are supposed to grow a plant that has bioluminesce but I don't know what the "Plant" is or what type of soil or watering timing can You Please offer any suggestions!
If we do this in a large amount or else increase the power of this enzyme. It can add more light to it
Woman at 01:00 look like that robot from that Japanese hotel.
Racist!
Two years ago? Where is my plamp. I would pay anything for it
It would be great if they could continue the "Glowing Plant" Project, where the Plant is genetically engineered. This would allow an evolutionary process with all kind of unexpected enhancements.
I'm really interested in this tech - electricity free street lighting. We already have streets that glow.
Some mushrooms glow in the dark. Perhaps we will have a combination of plants lighting our cities at night.
Kindly,try making it RGB.
Amazing
Great job
I salute to the greate biotechnologists
Hello sir/madam, How you have extracted luciferin?
Trees getting a glow up, then there's me xD
That's dope af
Any progress? This looks awesome
It's 3 years old and I got it my news in wired just today, what have I missed for all this time! It's fucking avatar shit! 💪🏻 Let's go boyzzz
What about photosynthesis? and their cycle and all that? wouldn't this mess that up ?
Can they photosynthesize themselves?
No, chlorophyll can't absorb green light, and even if it could, there will not be any new energy introduced to the system either way.
Photosyntesize by day, glow by night probably
By now they are working on this in the super hero lab where they are enabling people to shoot laser beams from their eyes.
THIS IS SO COOL
Excellent..Great...well done......nice job guys....MAGIC....
Just wow
I can see it now..... glowing buds in someones bowl
It's 2014 since the primary discovery .... they used it already
great innovation
plight
Why isn't this technology being performed wide-scale across the world?
I just dumped a glow stick on a fern. Blam! No DNAs necessary.
So basically this planet will be turned into the movie avatar? Hmm🤔
I need this fucking plant in my house
Could we have both Gold, and Silver bioluminescent trees?
Yet, I am stil waiting for this plant.😿
Amazing!!
MIT team 👍
What are possibilties of existence of these enzymes in their next offsprings through reproduction.
Is the emerald flouresent plant are real i see it for sale it online?
I was on a video where someone commented about people selling them too. But they didn't give any leads
Why don't the plants hold their glow for more than a few hours?
I wonder if this process damages plants or not, if there won't be any problem, it would be very nice to see plants glowing .
Might as well just paint everything with glow-in-the-dark paint.
It is Fantastic 👏👏👏
Ok....So where can you buy it?
Remember the kickstarter the failed that was trying to achieve this same thing? Poor backers
I hope one day you find a way to allow plants to literally produce medicine
Plants are medecine... but not injected plants with luceferin enzyme.
Great invention ❤❤❤
