I'll work on that, but I have another idea, splice the 7 genes that rose
plants use to make proteins that smell nice into E coli bacteria which is
ubiquitous in the human gut; then if you were to fart in a elevator you'd
be doing the other passengers a favor as they are invigorated by the
gentile fragrance of rose petals. Even better I would not be bragging or
condescending but simply stating a objective fact when I say "My shit don't
stink".

Another idea that is actually being worked on is to make bio-luminescent
plants. It's been estimated that if just 0.02 percent of the energy a plant
obtains from photosynthesis were used to make Luciferase, the protein that
fireflys use, a medium sized tree would be as bright as a streetlamp
