Comment on Bioluminescent petunias at homeparent

Figuring out why glowing gives a species such an advantage that it outcompetes non-glowing competitors would be an interesting post hoc study.

Just my opinion but I imagine this burns energy for no benefit. I think the plant released into the wild might survive for a little but eventually that glowing gene would be switched off.
