That would be cool.

certain arthropods
fireflies
glow worms
railroad worms
certain centipedes
certain millipedes
annelids

Mushrooms (see Foxfire)

Honey mushroom

Fish
cookie cutter shark
Marine hatchetfish
Anglerfish
Flashlight fish
Pineconefish
Porichthys

Marine invertebrates
many cnidarians
Sea pens
coral
Aequorea victoria, a jellyfish
Ctenophores or "comb jellies"

agricultural crops and domestic plants that luminesce when they need watering
new methods for detecting bacterial contamination of meats and other foods
bio-identifiers for escaped convicts and mental patients
detecting bacterial species in suspicious corpses
novelty pets that bioluminesce (rabbits, mice,fish etc.)

Definitely - maybe they should make Fruit Pastilles so that the colour doesn't necessarily match the taste.
