We develop and evaluate a novel approach to introduce luminescent globe artichoke root. This step can be developed to produce cheap and durable lighting green plants that glow like a flashlight helping to replace and save electricity. We managed to make some plant roots luminescent by feeding plants with strontium aluminate pigment phosphor doped with europium and dysprosium through their nutrition system without running any genetic engineering which is usually accompanied by negative impacts. The performance of the treated phosphorescent plant was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), light microscope (LM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and phosphorescence emission spectroscopy.
