<h3> Solution</h3> | <h3> Solution</h3> | ||
<p> The project undertaken by the Cambridge School of Weston (CSW) 2014 iGEM team aims to design a synthetic biology solution to this problem by building upon the work of the 2009 Utah State team that developed a protein secretion mechanism and that of the 2011 Yale team which synthesized an “antifreeze” protein (RiAFP) isolated from a cold-tolerant beetle called Rhagium inquisitor. This is the most potent antifreeze protein so far studied. Our device (Plantifreeze) is designed to mitigate crop damage caused by ice crystal formation on the plant surface. Plantifreeze is a dual plasmid system. <a href="https://2014hs.igem.org/Team:CSWProteens/project">Read more about our project.</a></p> | <p> The project undertaken by the Cambridge School of Weston (CSW) 2014 iGEM team aims to design a synthetic biology solution to this problem by building upon the work of the 2009 Utah State team that developed a protein secretion mechanism and that of the 2011 Yale team which synthesized an “antifreeze” protein (RiAFP) isolated from a cold-tolerant beetle called Rhagium inquisitor.
