| − | Climatic disorders lead to the appearance of extreme temperature events, whether frost or dryness,
| + | |
| − | negatively impacting crops production and the global agriculture sector economy.
| + | |
| − | </br>
| + | |
| − | In 2016, 60% of the French vineyard cultures were destroyed due to frosts. To solve this, we aim at creating
| + | |
| − | a thermosensitive biological tool named Softer Shock, providing an agro-environmental remedy for farmers.
| + | |
| − | The bacteria retained in our solution will specifically produce a biological protectant designed to
| + | |
| − | prevent the dryness phenomena above 37°C and frost damages below 15°C. The duality of this “2 in 1”
| + | |
| − | biological function finds its properties activated in response to meteorological events, and a capacity
| + | |
| − | of definitive bacterial auto-destruction after activation. These biological qualities fall within the
| + | |
| − | respect of French and European regulatory requirements towards their potential impact on biodiversity.

| − | The underlying scientific principle is to engineer a thermo-inducible plasmid that will be transferred
| + | |
| − | to a bacterium (E. coli). The objective is to make the bacterium produce specific compounds for both
| + | |
| − | high and low temperatures. As a proof of concept, we chose the blue chromoprotein AmilCP as the compound
| + | |
| − | to be expressed at low temperatures, and the red fluorescent protein eRFP as the compound to be expressed
| + | |
| − | at hot temperatures. The cold and heat shock strategies will be based on two new parts allowing the
| + | |
| − | specific expression of the two compounds at the desired temperature ranges. If this proof of concept
| + | |
| − | works, we will be able to adapt our constructions to any compound of choice and apply it for plant protection.
