Our Project

Main theme -Florigen-

How wonderful is it if you can see flowers in full glory in any season? If flowers bloom whenever you like, you could eat tasty fruits and see beautiful flowers in any time. It is what we humans have been looking for that the technology to make flowers bloom. There is a plant hormone that enables us to realize this dream. The plant hormone, Florigen, controls and triggers flowering in plants. We will create Flower Fairy E.coli. This will make Florigen and introduce it into plants! This enables us to make flowers bloom on demand!

Sub theme -Golden Gate Assembly-

Have you hoped to experiment faster? I guess, you have. In order to achieve a wonderful study, we have to experiment day by day. This is the case for iGEM, too. iGEMer tend to experiment on Escherichia.coli, and almost all experimentation takes a lot of time. Unless I miss my guess, all scholars and iGEMers must undergo hardships that they seems not to be able to complete their works by a deadline. Golden Gate Assembly enables us to construct genes faster than any other assembly methods. We will confirm this assembly method and will so some experiment to check how the numbers of promorters influences the strength of transcription.
