In April

The school competition of iGEM in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was held. After series of individual races and team competitions, excellent people were finally chosen into iGEM team of 2017: UESTC-China. Then we started to search for some useful and interesting projects. After four sessions of the group discussion and papers reading, we decided to choose TCP degradation by plants as our project. Then we started to carry out primary design of the project and then synthesized some key gene.

In May

Follow the primary design, we mainly did Molecular cloning experiments this month.

5.1-5.7

We had constructed some elements for the final single gene plasmid, which mainly includegd pGE1.1-DhaA31, pGE1.2-HheC, pGE1.3-EchA and pSE01-Nptll. Some parameters were as follow.

In addition, we had sowed tobacco seeds on the Medium for several times.

5.8-5.14

This week, three single gene vectors were constructed successfully by forward elements. In addition to that, we also completed other elements construction due to the need of Multi-gene vector. Some parameters are as follow. At the end of the week, we transferred tobacco seedlings from previous seeds sowing to other mediums for amplification and follow-up infection.

It’s suspected that there may be stable expression of epoxide hydrolases in the plant. To verify this suppose, this week, we designed and constructed a two genes vector system piGEM2016-005 excluding EchA. What’s more, we carried out Agrobacterium transformation using prior plasmids PiGEM2017-001, PiGEM2017-002, PiGEM2017-003. Also, Agrobacterium’s positive defection is done.

By papers reading, rough plasmids design had been made sure. And the target sequence was sent to company for synthesizing. Furthermore, Agrobacterium infection of tobacco had been done.

6.21-6.30

The leaves infected by Agrobacterium had appeared small bud. We transferred the bud to rooting medium.

Except, we did the standard curve of chloride ions
