Japanese scientists have developed plants that glow in hues of red and blue, garnering attention in the field of biotechnology. These cutting-edge experiments, which alter the plant's photosynthesis process, could pave the way towards eco-friendly alternatives for conventional lighting systems. The research institute, time of study, or further details have not yet been released.

In Japan, there is a strong societal interest in both traditional horticulture and advances in technology, especially those that offer sustainable solutions. This new discovery bridges the gap between these realms. Moreover, Japan's regulatory bodies typically ensure stringent checks and balances for products emerging from genetic modification, ensuring safety.

In the United States and the EU, scientists have also dabbled in similar research. The scientific communities there would appreciate such a breakthrough, but it may have to navigate more complex GMO policies and public sentiments than in Japan.
