Two transgenic plants were genetically engineered using Recombinant DNA technology. One plant was transformed using a plasmid vector with GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) gene and another plant was transformed with Luciferase gene. Which of these two plants will glow spontaneously in the dark?
Correct Answer: Plant with Luciferase Gene
Description: Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence, and is usually distinguished from a photoprotein. The name was first used by Raphael Duboiswho invented the words luciferin and luciferase, for the substrate and enzyme, respectively. Both words are derived from the Latin word lucifer - meaning lightbringer. Ref satyanarayana 4e
