I mean yeah if you can cause a specific selective pressure for the fluorescence trait and then breed the plant for 100 million years I guess you have a shot haha
You can shave off most of that 100 million years using variation breeding. No need to wait around for random chance to happen when a little radiation can trigger as many mutations as we want.

Good luck breeding a plant until it replicates jellyfish DNA for fluorescence.
