Project Attributions On the Attributions page, we have taken care to recognize not only the unique roles each lab team member played but also the specific tasks they completed—whether for lab operations or the wiki initiative. Beyond that, we want to sincerely thank all those who stood with us, offering their valuable support and assistance to make this project possible. Find our Attributions page.
Project Description On our Project Description page, you’ll find a comprehensive breakdown of the project—including how it took shape and the inspiration that sparked its start. To make our work easier to grasp, we’ve also included visual elements that walk through the project’s story and key details. Visit our Description page.
Project Contribution Over the past year, we developed two systems to control tomato bacterial wilt (from Ralstonia solanacearum): fatty acid induction and erucamide production sensing. The first responds to glycolysis, triggers fatty acid synthesis, and activates the second.
We also documented wet experiment challenges to help plant disease project teams.
Finally, we built a math model for the three-protein co-expression system and a standardized "function-parameter-equation" workflow. This reusable workflow acts as a reference for other iGEM multi-protein synthetic biology projects. 		Read more on the Contribution page.

Engineering success To combat tomato bacterial wilt from Ralstonia solanacearum, our project developed four modules: fatty acid induction, erucamide sensing, hydrogel encapsulation, and erucamide secretion verification for infected seedlings.
The induction system triggers fatty acid synthesis via glycolysis and activates the sensing system; the hydrogel stores their components. Infection tests confirmed functional E. coli’s efficacy. Guided by DBTL, we tested, refined, and met goals. 		For a more detailed look at our Engineering cycles, head to our Engineering page.
Human practices In our project, we've actively conducted human practices centered on stakeholders. We've popularized synthetic biology knowledge and project-related information through educational initiatives, while also working to advance the practical implementation of our project via these human practice efforts.

Specializations Education To raise public awareness of synthetic biology and share our project with a wider audience, we have carried out a variety of activities over the past few months. These initiatives have not only helped the public better understand the significance of green agriculture and synthetic biology but also provided our team with valuable feedback and growth opportunities. Check our Education for a detailed overview.
Specializations Integrated Human Practices During the project development lifecycle, our integrated Human Practices are centered entirely on stakeholders. We proactively gain insights into their concerns and specific needs regarding our products, and leverage these real-world requirements to drive continuous refinement and enhancement of our offerings. Check out our Integrated Human Practices page.
