[ExI] Beautiful Avatar like glowing plants are now real

[John Clark]

People have made glowing plants before but they only glowed dimly and for a
short amount of time, but for the first time scientists have used genetic
engineering to make a plant that glowed permanently, from the day it
sprouted from a seed to the day it died, and it's 10 times brighter than
any previous plant so it's easily visible to the naked eye.

There already plans to commercialize and offer a range of glowing
houseplants, I think they would sell because they really are beautiful,
they'd be even better when they have more colors than just green.
