Synthetic Biology

4.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Transgenic Plants

7.3K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

19.0K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Area of Science:

  • Synthetic genomics
  • Plant biology
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • DNA synthesis enables viral and microbial genome engineering.
  • Multicellular eukaryotes, especially plants, present complex challenges for synthetic genomics due to large genomes, transposons, and epigenetics.
  • Previous progress in plant synthetic genomics primarily used a top-down approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a bottom-up genome synthesis strategy for multicellular plants.
  • To identify Physcomitrium patens as a model organism for initial bottom-up synthetic genomics.
  • To discuss the technical barriers in applying bottom-up genome synthesis to seed plants.

Main Methods:

  • Exploring homologous recombination, DNA delivery, and regeneration in Physcomitrium patens.
  • Identifying challenges in genome assembly for synthetic plant genomes.
  • Analyzing plant transformation techniques for synthetic genomics.

Main Results:

  • Physcomitrium patens exhibits potential for bottom-up synthetic genomics, though optimizations are needed.
  • Significant technical barriers exist in genome assembly and plant transformation for seed plants.
  • A bottom-up approach is feasible but requires further development.

Conclusions:

  • Bottom-up genome synthesis is a promising approach for plant synthetic genomics.
  • Physcomitrium patens serves as a viable starting model for bottom-up plant synthetic genomics.
  • Overcoming technical hurdles in genome assembly and transformation is crucial for advancing synthetic genomics in seed plants.
