Dual-colour bioluminescent reporters enable quantitative imaging in living plants

Caption

A glowing plant reports its own molecular physiology by a change in its luminescence colour. Using change in colour instead of change in light intensity as a readout enables more accurate measurement of gene activity by correcting for metabolic effects that influence light emission.
