Glow-in-the-dark flowers created using jellyfish DNA
Go into any flower shop and there’s a wide assortment of flowers for almost any occasion. But one thing you won’t find— not yet at least— are flowers that glow in the dark. Using jellyfish DNA and the magic of modern genetics, an Australian company has made flowers that glow in the dark.
Australian company Bioconst has started research to create fluorescent flowers by splicing Californian jellyfish DNA into various blooms.
The company already produces a fluorescent substance which is sprayed on to flowers causing a glow but now work has started on flowers which emit light without the need for a spray. Professor Mark Tester, vice-president of Bioconst said:
“They would look the same, until you turn the light out and put them under a UV light. You wouldn’t know there’s any jellyfish there.”
