Glowing plants turned into quantitative gene reporters
Original: Dual-colour glow turns autoluminescent plants into quantitative gene reporters
Researchers have developed a dual-colour glow system that turns autoluminescent plants into quantitative gene reporters, allowing gene activity to be measured directly from the light plants emit. The advance could let scientists track gene expression in living plants in real time without destructive sampling.
Why now: A novel biotechnology that converts glowing plants into measurable gene reporters is new and relevant to synthetic biology and plant research.
