I was reading an article about how tobacco plants were made to glow green (see link) and thought there might be a commercial application for this. Since they already know how to do the genetic tinkering involved they just have to come up with a palette of colors for you to choose from and modify grass
the same way. Your neighborhood could have lawns that glowed blue, red, or yellow at night. (Conservative types could have theirs glow green).

Nice, but it would show up my dog taking his evening 'stroll' - not sure a hunched straining figure in the bushes is the best subject for illumination. Bun for the idea, though. |

And bun, for making the grass truly greener. |

I was reading something similar today about splicing jellyfish glow-in-the-dark genes into quails eggs to create quails with glow-in-the-dark nerves (and I thought this place generated some silly ideas). Don't know if the tobacconists are using the the same technique (your link is offline), but [+] for glowing lawns, I'd love one. In fact, I'd love a lawn. |

I seem to recall a recent sci fi short story where a woman given jelly fish cells ended up being able to communicate with them (or at least understand them). Still, teacher, teacher, I want glow-in-the-dark nerves too! |
