In the dark room, the leaves of a sunflower stretch out, and its petals glow softly with fluorescence. This is the "magic moment" that Hefei Shenbi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. performs every day.
"Magic Brush Creature" is taken from the fairy tale "Magic Brush Ma Liang" and carries the original intention of "drawing the future with technology". In 2024, the company successfully cultivated gene-edited high-brightness self-luminous plants at night, which not only filled the domestic technological gap in this field, but also demonstrated the innovative power of Chinese enterprises on the international stage.
Since its establishment, Hefei Shenbi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has focused on the research and development of plant gene editing and improvement technology. The R&D team is composed of "post-95s" and "post-00s". They use gene editing technology to introduce luminescent gene fragments from fireflies and other organisms into plant cells, giving plants the ability to independently and continuously glow in dark environments.
In recent years, "Magic Biology" has continued to iterate technology and explore more possibilities of luminous plants. These plants with the warmth of science and technology are stepping out of the laboratory and into the public eye, allowing more people to feel the wonderful spark of the collision between technology and nature.
In the future, luminous plants may be used in the cultural and tourism night economy to outline romantic scenes under the stars. They may also enter ordinary people's homes and become decorative light sources for home spaces.
The R&D team holding the "magic pen" is using the power of youth and innovation to paint a beautiful picture of technology infiltrating life.
