A light at the end of the garden: Scientists are cultivating glow-in-the-dark flowers by inserting DNA from bioluminescent mushrooms

Researchers were able to take DNA from certain mushrooms and add it to plants

They started with the tobacco plant as they have a relatively simple structure

The process allows for the new plants to have a ‘constant and renewable glow’
