Glow-in-the-dark plants developed that could replace street lamps | Mail Online: "Glow-in-the-dark trees could soon be a natural alternative to electric street lighting, according to scientists.

A team of scientists from California has developed bacteria than can make plants glow-in-the dark.

Researchers at the Glowing Plant project from California have transferred the glowing genes seen in fireflies, in to plants to make them glow-in-the-dark. The team is now hoping to extend the technique to larger plants and trees, and use them to replace electric lights."
