Glowing plants reveal immune responses around infection sites via two colors
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have developed a new way to make glowing biological reporters more accurate, allowing scientists to track gene activity in living plants over days, weeks and potentially even…
AI Summary
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences have created a method that improves the accuracy of glowing biological reporters, enabling gene‑activity tracking in living plants over extended periods. The technique enhances autoluminescence imaging, allowing organisms to emit their own light without added chemicals or specialized equipment. Published in Nature Plants, the work aims to help study plant responses to disease, pests and environmental stress and could be adapted for animal and human disease models. The study was led by scientists in Karen Sarkisyan’s group, with collaborators from Light Bio and international partner institutions.
