Bioluminescent Park
Glowing plants based on bioluminescence. This phenomenon occurs due to the oxidation of the luciferase enzyme. In this way, fungi, bacteria, insects, and some deep-sea fish shine. The glowing park we present is based on this technology.
How?
All you need to do is find the genes responsible for the glow in mushrooms and place them in the DNA of a green plant. The effect achieved will be natural illumination of the space at night without the need for artificial light. This type of park, based on bioluminescent plants, will encourage people to spend time actively in the evening.
