Self-Glimmering Plants Cultivated by Magicpen Bio - China

A reseacher checks the growth of seedlings at the laboratory of Magicpen Bio in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, December 3, 2025. Chinese researchers have successfully cultivated a number of gene-edited plants that steadily glimmer in dark environments. They managed to introduce gene fragments from organisms such as fireflies into plant cells, allowing the latter to glimmer by themselves. Photo by Xinhua/Zhang Duan/ABACAPRESS.COM
