摘要

In April, a tiny San Francisco startup launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $65,000 to create biolumi-nescent mustard plants. If the project were fully funded, anyone who contributed $40 or more would receive a packet of seeds and full instructions for growing their own glowing plant.Offer not valid in Europe.In the U.S., however, Glowing Plant (the company) insists that this is entirely legal. It would be a mass distribution of what they claim will be the second ever synthetic organism, after Craig Venter's bacterium, but no law prevents it. The basis of this is that they will be using gene-gun technology rather than viral technology to introduce the synthetic gene to the plant's DNA, which may be less efficient but evades USDA regulations.
