Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic cell—any cell that is not a sex...

Transgenic Plants
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...

Design Example: Capacitance Multiplier Circuit
The circuit illustrated in Figure 1 below incorporates two op-amps, with the first operating as a voltage follower and the second acting as an inverting amplifier.
Clamper Circuit
Within this circuit, the diode's orientation prompts the capacitor to charge up to the level of the most negative peak of the input signal. Upon reaching this state, the diode ceases to conduct,...

MultiGreen expands the GreenGate system for plant genetic engineering, enabling efficient assembly of multiple transcriptional units. This novel cloning strategy accelerates the design and prototyping of complex plant transformation vectors.
Area of Science:
- Plant biotechnology
- Molecular biology
- Synthetic biology
Background:
- Modular cloning systems like GreenGate simplify plant vector design.
- GreenGate's limitation is its inability to efficiently assemble multiple transcriptional units.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce MultiGreen, an expansion of the GreenGate system.
- To overcome GreenGate's limitations in assembling multiple transcriptional units in series and parallel.
Main Methods:
- Developed MultiGreen with level 1 acceptor vectors for intermediate assembly.
- Utilized a mathematical model for assembly time: 2*⌈log6n⌉+3 days.
- Validated MultiGreen using bacterial operon assembly and RUBY reporter deconstruction.
Main Results:
- MultiGreen efficiently concatenates multiple transcriptional units.
- Achieved rapid prototyping with direct use of binary MultiGreen level 1 vectors.
- Demonstrated successful assembly of complex plasmids with multiple transcriptional units.
Conclusions:
- MultiGreen is a versatile tool for complex cloning projects in plant transformation.
- It maintains GreenGate's syntax while enabling multiplexing.
- Accelerates the design and validation of multi-transcriptional unit plant vectors.
