This paper introduces a method to make autoluminescent reporters robust to metabolic changes by using a reference luciferase variant to quantify gene expression independently of metabolism.

The paper develops a fungal bioluminescence pathway-based reporter system to improve agroinfiltration efficiency across multiple plant species.

The paper develops autoluminescent plants to non-invasively image jasmonic and salicylic acid activities in response to pests and pathogens.
