Our Project

Main theme -Florigen-

How wonderful would it be, if you can see flowers in full glory throughout the year? If flowers bloom whenever you like, you could eat tasty fruits and see beautiful flowers any time. It is what we have been looking for, 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 transfer it into plants! This will enable us to make flowers bloom on demand!

Sub theme -Golden Gate Assembly-

Have you ever hoped for a faster experiment? I guess, you have. In order to achieve a successful study, we have to experiment day by day. This is the case for iGEM, too. iGEMer tends to experiment on Escherichia.coli, and almost all experiments take a lot of time. Unless I guess is wrong, all scholars and iGEMers undergo hardships that they seems impossible to complete their work 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.
