Two-gene TAL tyrosine pathway
The conventional route needs five to six endogenous genes expressed in concert. Our TAL route drives luminous-substrate synthesis with two, raising substrate conversion by more than 30 times.
Innovation
Light that grows
from the gene up
Bioluminescence pathways, enzyme stability and catalytic efficiency: the three levers we pull to make plants glow brighter, for longer.

Degradation-resistant peptide tags
Anti-degradation tags added to the luciferase sequence extend the enzyme's half-life from 48 hours to 168 hours and lift steady-state expression by more than 3 times.
Accessory enzyme optimization
Directed evolution and metabolic flux control refine the enzymatic reaction, giving the resulting mutants a 2.5-times gain in enzyme activity.
Technical figures should be verified against the latest experimental and patent records.

03 · Luminous plants
Self-luminous plants
Plants that light themselves at night, in production and in development, for homes, science education, commercial spaces and civic landscapes.
No power needed.
It glows as it grows
Natural bioluminescence genes are integrated into the plant, which then lights itself through the night.

DEEP SEA
Deep Sea Sprite · light in the water
Deep Sea Sprite is built on bioluminescent microbes from the deep ocean, optimized for brightness and stability, for water-feature art installations, aquascaping and immersive light experiences.
Created the "Fluorescent Galaxy Waterfall" for Qingdao Underwater World: nearly 10 m high, more than 10 m wide, with no fluorescent dye and no LEDs.
