a regulation system that does multitasking.

This year, We found the simple act of expressing the DNA sequence of PBAN (Pheromone Biosynthesis Activating Neuropeptide) to be equally, if not more, efficient and effective. Just like pheromones, PBAN is species-specific. Once our target species comes in contact with the PBAN produced by our E. coli, its pheromone glands will be stimulated and thus attract more of its own kind into our capturing device.

So far, We have already collected sequences of a few common species of harmful insects. Hopefully this model can be widely used in the future when PBANs of more insects are found.

  • Project

    Insect damage is a serious problem for agriculture. People have spent lots of time studying about pest control, but most methods are not as ideal as expected. Therefore, we established an alternative way to improve the current situation.

  • Results

    The current progress of our project, including detailed experimental data and the overall evaluation of project practicability .

  • Modeling

    Modeling was our first step forward. When validated with our experimental data, modeling is also a verification of the accuracy of our experiments.

  • Biobricks

    To strive for the best results, we made plenty of experiment. Our team always works together and we have fun conducting experiments.
