Meeting with Nanjing Agricultural University:
In the process of talking with team leaders and the students in charge of each module, we had a brief understanding of the content of their project, and put forward a lot of practical and useful suggestions for the problems they are facing.
Below is a brief summary of our proposal:
1.Human Practice: We both have expressed great interest in the Best integrated Human Practise Prize. Therefore we shared our HP content with each other and worked together to study the award criteria for the gold medal and decided that we will improve our activities.
2. Project: Members in Nanjing Agricultural University did a survey among farmers in rural areas, but the results are not pleasant enough. We made some relative constructive suggestions.
Question 1: At present, there are far too few studies on yeast. And there is no accurate data on the sequence of yeast promoter gene. Answer: （1） Find a relevant company to help the sequencing;
（2） There is a mentor doing yeast-related research in Tsinghua University. Contact him for help;
（3） Contact other teams who has similar needs and apply for the iGEM authorities for publication of relevant information.
Question 2: The government did not publish the data of the amount of vomit toxin in wheat products in the market.
Answer:（1） Apply for checking the official information from the China Food and Drug Administration;
（2） Go to the market get sampling by buying wheat products, and then carry out vomit toxin test.
Question 3: The yeast is eucaryote. Compared with the Escherichia coli, the experiment of competent cell culture and plasmid importation are more difficult and time-consuming, so that the project progress will be slow.
Answer: (1) Optimize the yeast. Screen more suitable yeast to act as a chassis organism through related experiments;
(2) It is recommended that the project be completed in steps. For example, do wheat vomit toxin research this year and rice related pathogenic toxin research next year. In this way, the research of main crop can be completed.
Question 4: The sustainability of the project needs to be improved. Answer: Apply for Entrepreneurship Project in NAU and industrialize this project. With the development of school’s Entrepreneurship Project and financial support, this research can be carried out more consistently. If you can find a company to collaborate with, the project will help the community even more, which will lead to deeper research by teammates.
Question 5: When using drones to monitor whether or not the wheat crop is infected with the virus, it requires a high quality of camera pixels. And the characteristics of the wheat are from a top view, which has a large difference in the picture of the diseased wheat in database. Answer: Set up automatic cameras on the ground around the wheat field. This change has four advantages: The camera is close to the wheat plant so that the camera pixel required is not high; The picture in the horizontal direction is coincident with the picture in the database, which can improve the accuracy of the recognition;
3. The plan is continuous monitoring so that the whole wheat growth cycle can be monitored for its disease;
4. Compared with drones, it is more more economical which is very helpful to the industrialization of this project.
