MIT Just Created Living Plants That Glow Like A Lamp, And Could Grow Glowing Trees To Replace Streetlights

by BZ ⒾAM Riger / Wednesday, 20 December 2017 / Published in Absolute Data

Streetlights could be replaced by glow-in-the-dark trees after scientists create plants that shine like fireflies

by Tim Collins For Mailonline, published on The Daily Mail, on December 14, 2017

  • Experts injected specialised nanoparticles into the leaves of a watercress plant
  • This caused it to give off a dim light, that lit up the pages of a book, for 3.5 hours 
  • The enzyme involved, luciferase, is created by fireflies in their fluorescent glow
  • The team hopes to develop a way to paint the nanoparticles onto plant leaves
  • This would allow them to create much larger lights out of trees and bigger plants 

 

Roads of the future could be lit by glowing trees instead of streetlamps, thanks to a breakthrough in creating bioluminescent plants.

Experts injected specialised nanoparticles into the leaves of a watercress plant, which caused it to give off a dim light for nearly four hours.

The chemical involved, which produced enough light to read a book by, is the same as is used by fireflies to create their characteristic shine.

5To create their glowing plants, engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) turned to an enzyme called luciferase.

Luciferase acts on a molecule called luciferin, causing it to emit light.

Another molecule called Co-enzyme A helps the process along by removing a reaction byproduct that can inhibit luciferase activity.

The MIT team packaged each of these components into a different type of nanoparticle carrier.

The nanoparticles help them to get to the right part of the plant and also prevent them from building to concentrations that could be toxic to the plants.

The result was a watercress plant that functioned like a desk lamp.

Researchers believe with further tweaking, the technology could also be used to provide lights bright enough to illuminate a workspace or even an entire street, as well as low-intensity indoor lighting.

Michael Strano, professor of chemical engineering at MIT and the senior author of the study, said: ‘The vision is to make a plant that will function as a desk lamp — a lamp that you don’t have to plug in.

‘The light is ultimately powered by the energy metabolism of the plant itself.’

‘Our work very seriously opens up the doorway to streetlamps that are nothing but treated trees, and to indirect lighting around homes.’

Luciferases make up a class of oxidative enzymes found in several species that enable them to ‘bioluminesce’, or emit light.

Fireflies are able to emit light via a chemical reaction in which luciferin is converted to oxyluciferin by the luciferase enzyme.

Some of the energy released by this reaction is in the form of light.

The reaction is highly efficient, meaning nearly all the energy put into the reaction is rapidly converted to light.

Lighting accounts for around 20 per cent of worldwide energy consumption, so replacing them with naturally bioluminescent plants would represent a significant cut to CO2 emissions.

The researchers’ early efforts at the start of the project yielded plants that could glow for about 45 minutes, which they have since improved to 3.5 hours.

The light generated by one ten centimetre (four inch) watercress seedling is currently about one-thousandth of the amount needed to properly read by, but it was enough to illuminate the words on a page of John Milton’s Paradise Lost.

For future versions of this technology, the team hopes to develop a way to paint or spray the nanoparticles onto plant leaves, which could make it possible to transform trees and other large plants into light sources.

The researchers have also demonstrated that they can turn the light off by adding nanoparticles carrying a luciferase inhibitor.

This could enable them to eventually create plants that shut off their light emission in response to environmental conditions such as sunlight, they say.

The full findings of the study were published in the American Chemical Society journal Nano Letters.
