Who would want a plant to glow when it could
burn?
By
twiddling around with
genetic structures,
cellular metabolism could be
altered to
synthesize ethanol from
basic sugars. By careful
distillation of the finished product (possibly by
ethanol vaporization in leaves) the plant could surround itself with a 200 proof
alcoholic haze. Animals then wander in, get
DT's and die,
fertilizing the plant. Almost as good as my design for the
exploding turnip or the
Russian Vodka Potato.
