Aim: To use the primitive plant Marchantia Polymorpha as a flexible hackable bio-sensor. A plant can contain any input, processing and output module which are parcelled independently into modules and linked together using metabolites and inducible promoters. The modules can easily be interchanged and added, using biotechnology or simple Mendelian genetics, allowing many plant-based devices to be constructed from the same library of components, at home or in the lab.

<dd> Use the lower plant Marchantia Polymorpha as a flexible biosensor. The input, processing and output functionality are parceled into separate modules which are linked using metabolites and inducible promoters. The modules can be interchanged, allowing many devices to be constructed from the same library of components.</dd>
