Probably not, they don't fit the sort of aesthetic theme I like at all. I can definitely see there being a big market for them though, its a great idea. But they just aren't something I would personally have inside/outside my house.
WouldYouKindly : Everything dies... until we find immortality that is! 
Hoplon : HELL YEA! XD
slave23 : True, everyone to their own thing. What kinda aesthetic theme do you like? Also might it be possible to simply have different hues of colors for different places? or a different mix or theme? It's a dream but it's conceivable that street lights will be trees.

Luna : I KNOW! OMG! D: Sometimes I wish I knew how laws worked so I can look for loopholes.
likalaruku : Enjoy. :3

DO IT, ENJOY! XD Glowing shroooooms! These are all natural... By the way, do you know anything about the shrooms? I wanted to grab em but I don't know if there are any dangers or harms or problems with fungus... like bugs... also it looks like the surrounding needs to be wet and warm. :x

These are glowing shrooms. ^-~
Witty Name Here : I am so hyped up about this! I feel like a kid that just discovered fireflies.

hmm.. bio-luminescent plants. Hold up, I've got an idea for a sweet as fuck forest rave!
However, if I were to actually by one (or several) it (they) would probably (certainly) die within about a week. Or however long plants take to die.

I'm going to be completely honest. I came here, reading the title as "Glow in the dark Pants".
I was disappointed.
Although cool, I do find that the awesomeness would probably wear off quickly.

Techno Squidgy : Plants make seeds! ;D But you're right, that would be a sweet rave... If you're gona set one up, totally message me ok?
Chefsbrian : Well I'm sorry for disappointing you! :<

Yes. Yes, I really would love to have a bunch of glowing plants in my hypothetical home garden. This seems like a bad-ass project!
bliebblob : Yea I know what you're talking about. The team working on this project talked a little bit about this subject. I'm sorry I've lost the exact site... I think it was a video on youtube. ^~^;; Something about this plant not having many cousins to breed with and how this is a negative trait for wild plants as it uses up more energy for no survival reasons making natural selection kill them out or something of the sort. I'm totally doing this from memory so I could be mistaken.
Shoggoth2588 : Yea! You should totally keep tabs on it. Maybe even share the link with a friend or something.

Mcupobob : I like your comment on the captcha. I like it a lot... Therefor you's awesome! \o/
Rex Dark : Yesh *-* keep tabs on it and spread the word? XD or at least be excited! \o/

I believe my feelings about this idea fall between "yes" and "fuck yeah I would!" The only draw back is I am terrible at taking care of plants.

Well the points of these will be to light up places that are already lit by traditional light. For example, a hall light on the way to the bathroom. I would say the aim is to replace street lights with bio-luminescent trees.Father Time said:
Depends on specific details.
For instance, I would certainly buy a low maintenance indoors capable plant that emitted a moderately low amount of light. Useful both as decoration and night lighting.
Personally, I'd like to see more research done in this direction. So far as I'm concerned, the more controllable research into GMOs we do, the better.

I couldn't acces their side atm, so I don't know for sure. But it seems pretty likely that I wouldn't be able to buy them, because germany has somewhat strict laws regarding GMOs.
I also don't really see a reason to do so. I don't need glowing plants(aside from GFP positive transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana, at least if I'm ending up in plant genetics at some point. Hopefully not.). And I wouldn't know why anyone outside a genetic lab would with a good enough reason to change legislation over it.
Also: I read glowing pants. I most certainly would buy glowing pants. Glowing pants are awesome.
Oh, and another thing. Since I can't access the side: Are they flourescent or bioluminiscent. Because if they are flourescent some people here are in for a disapointment. And lots of these glow-in-the-dark-somethings that news outlets seem to love to report about are just animals or plants that express GFP (or a varient of it or something similar), which only glows under UV or visible light quite far down the blue end of the spectrum.
Edit: I could just access the side. It's indeed bioluminiscence. That's a plus. And I was correct: it is not avaible in the EU.
Oh: And it is Arabidopsis. No thanks. I had my fill of this plant during the practical courses in plant-genetics and developmental genetics during my bachelors studies.
