Our Concept

Tackling large problems requires breaking them down into smaller steps.

Creating a plant that can glow in the dark is not a unique project; it has been tried before and not with much success, which is why we are taking a more conservative approach to this project: By testing various parts of gene constructs and bioluminescent systems we can quantify and show the best parts available for someone to make a functional glowing plant.

Optoplant

By using IIS Restriction we can interchange any part of a gene construct (Promoter, Untranslated Region (5 ́UTR), Coding Sequences (CDS) and Terminators) with relative ease allowing us to quickly test and compare various constructs due to the modular nature of our cloning method.
Optoplant will provide the first basis for others working with bioluminescence systems and plant engineering.

The best team in the world.

This past year our team has been working on our project OptoPlant. We sacrificed a lot, especially to fulfill our education assignment. We would have not reached the things we reached without the help of great people. If you want to find out more about our journey, the lab we worked in, the team and the advisors that helped us, check out the learn more section.
