<p>Pests cause great economical loses in agriculture and impedes an optimal use of the resources. Treatments used nowadays have some not-so-wanted faces: Pesticides do not target specifically enough to pests and cause alterations in other organisms, and chemical production of sex pheromones is expensive and generates contaminant by-products.</p><br/><br />
<p><span class="black-bold">Sexy Plant</span> rises as a pest control strategy based on the use of mating disruption to prevent laying. <span class="black-bold">Mating disruption</span> is based on the release of sex pheromones to the air, so male’s sex pheromones receptors are not able to trace females anymore. This strategy is effectively used in field already with chemically synthesised pheromones [1]. Our final goal is to increase the sustainability of this approach by intercropping few Sexy Plants emitting mating-disrupting pheromones.</p><br/><br />
<br />
<br />
<p>Sexy Plant produces and releases in <span class="italic">Nicotiana benthamiana</span> several <span class="black-bold">sex pheromones</span> (Z11-16:OH, Z11-16:OAc and Z11-16:Ald) for a broad number of Lepidoptera species (moths). We implemented previous work on production pathways done by Ding et al. [2] into our system to produce the first two pheromones (Z11-16:OH and Z11-16:OAc). We knew about the importance of Z11-16:Aldehide to control a large number of species, so inspired by Hagström approach [3], we introduced Fatty Acid reductase to transform Z11-16:OH to Z11-16:Ald. As result, the sexy plant is able to produce three sex pheromones involved in moth’s mating disruption with 2 or 3 additional enzymes (Figure 1).</p><br/><br />
<br />

<div align="center"><p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-size: 0.8em; width: 700px;"><span class="black-bold">Figure 1. Biosynthetic pathway of moth sex pheromones</span>. Sex pheromones are bordered in purple. Taking palmitic acid CoA (16:CoA) as substrate, the expression of the genes AtrΔ11 (Desaturase) and HarFAR (Reductase) leads to the production of Z11-16:OH. By adding the gene EaDAcT (Acetyltransferase) in the previous system, production displaced to obtaining Z11-16:OAc. If a Fatty Acid Reductase (FAO) is included instead of EaDAcT, Z11-16:Ald will be produced.</p></div><br/><br />
<br />
<p>Biosafety is a major concern in our project. For that reason, we have developed a <span class="black-bold">biosafety module</span> which allows an easy identification of the plant by identity preservation and prevents the plant to spread its genetic material via pollen. Identity preservation is achieved by the production of a <span class="black-bold">chromoprotein</span> so that the plant acquires a differential colour. Dispersion of the genetic material is prevented by male sterility, as results of the tissue-specific expression of a RNAse (<span class="black-bold">Barnase</span>) in tapetum cells under the regulation of the promoter TA29 [4]. This way, autogamous Sexy Plants cannot be self-pollinate and seeds formation is blocked.</p><br/><br />
<br />
<br />
<p>In addition, we decided that it was important to enable external control for the production of the pheromones in the Sexy Plant. Therefore we designed a genetic switch to control the activation of sex pheromone biosynthetic pathways. This genetic switch turns on the production of pheromones when a solution containing CuSO4 is sprayed on the plant. Switching ON and OFF the production produces a better use of the plant resources since nutrients can be used for normal metabolism when production is switched off.</p><br/><br />
<br />
<br />
<p>The different genetic modules are put together to create the complete system. The complete system resembles an electric circuit, as it’s simply represented in figure 2. Our genetic circuit, once introduced in Nicotiana benthamiana creates the Sexy Plant, a plant to fight moths and avoid damages in crops.</p><br/><br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><img width="400px" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2014/a/ac/VUPVOverview_figure_2.png" alt="circuit"></img></div><br/><br />
<br />
<div align="center"><p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-size: 0.8em; width: 700px;"><span class="black-bold">Figure 2. Our system in an electric circuit-like format</span>. The plant’s own metabolism is used as the energy source. The biosecurity module, composed by identity preservation and male sterility parts is always under expression in the system, to ensure the security of the transgenic plant. The pheromone synthetic pathways (A,B or C, depending on the problem pest) are activated using a genetic switch sensitive to Copper Sulfate, so system will not be producing pheromones unless it is activated with Cooper-rich solution.</p></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br />

<h4 align="center">Project overview (Draft)</h4><br />
<br />
<p>Pests are one of the major problems in agriculture because their effect cause huge losses in this sector. Since pest control techniques relying on the use of pesticides are becoming less and less popular, because of the environmental damages they can cause, treatment with pheromones are gaining ground among pest management. <br />
Nowadays insect pheromones are chemically synthesised, which happens to be an expensive and complex process because of manufacturing costs and purification steps. In pursuit this line of thinking, our main efforts are aimed at avoiding the damage produced by pests in crops, specifically moths, which cause significant damage in crops all around the world. <br />
Moths lay eggs on the crops after mating, then the larvae eat the crops causing considerable damage. Our objective is to find an alternative method of pest control using pheromones.</p><br/><br />
<p>Male moths find the females by tracing the pheromones they release into the air. For the attraction to be effective, female of a certain species must release the exact proportion of pheromone components. However, the strategy to be used is not based in attraction but in confusion. <br />
When the major pheromone component concentration in the environment reaches high levels, males are not able to find the females. This strategy is called mate disruption.</p><br/><br />
<p>Our final objective is to create a synthetic plant which can produce a determined pheromone specifically in their trichomes, allowing its diffusion and secretion to the environment, causing mating disruption among moths (Lepidoptera). <br />
These plants would allow pest control simply sowing some of them around a crop field and inducing the pheromone production by applying a copper-rich nutrient solution before the insects mating season. <br />
In addition, due to their induced sterility, these plants would be completely safe to cultivate in the field and easily recognizable due to their anthocyanin production which would turn them purple.</p><br/><br />

Afterwards the leaf powder was weighted and introduced in a 10 mL screwcap headspace vial.</p><br />

<br />
<br />

Comparing its spectrum with the one provided from the database seems to be (z)-11-hexadecenal, a desired pheromone, which is being produced by the plant itself using an endogenous alcohol oxidase. Nevertheless as it is produced with a low yield, the FAO1 of <i>C. tropicalis</i> search is still in progress.</p><br />

<p class="p_notebook">In this replica, the sample with the TU Atr&Delta;11+TU HarFAR and P35s:GFP:P19:Tnos construction shows a huge production of (z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol.</p><br />

Comparing its spectrum with the one provided from the database seems to be (z)-11-hexadecenal, a desired pheromone, which is being produced by the plant itself using an endogenous alcohol oxidase. Nevertheless as it is produced with a low yield, the FAO1 of <i>C. tropicalis</i> search is still in progress.</p><br />

Comparing its spectrum with the one provided from the database seems to be (z)-11-hexadecenal, a desired pheromone, which is being produced by the plant itself using an endogenous alcohol oxidase. Nevertheless as it is produced with a low yield, the FAO1 of <i>C. tropicalis</i> search is still in progress.</p><br />

Comparing its spectrum with the one provided from the database seems to be (z)-11-hexadecenal, a desired pheromone, which is being produced by the plant itself using an endogenous alcohol oxidase. Nevertheless as it is produced with a low yield, the FAO1 of <i>C. tropicalis</i> search is still in progress.</p><br />
