Such a cool pre-print on making sentinel plants - so much potential!
Bioluminescent sentinel plants enable autonomous diagnostics of viral infections

#PhD
The research led by @c-jake-harris.bsky.social's group in collaboration with @hendersi.bsky.social's lab, has uncovered a new way to reprogramme plant genomes using ‘epigenetic engineering’ to change gene activity without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

Plants engineered with synthetic genetic programs can transform how we monitor and manage the extension of crop pests and diseases. Here, we establish a bioluminescent platform in Nicotiana benthamian...
This protocol details the design principles and procedures for building programmable CRISPRi-based gene circuits, and for testing individual components and the assembled circuits in various plant spec...
A new tool to fine-tune plant genomes without changing their DNA could offer a fast and precise alternative to GM breeding and play a key role in developing resilient crops in response to climate chan...

Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) at gene promoters is thought to play a central role in gene transcription. H3K4 methylation is deposited by the SET1 (A/B) and MLL (1-4) multi-protein comp...
