This year we have designed a modular system, plastic and ready to incorporate to Arabidopsis thaliana; in order to adapt an integrated system treatment for large areas of heavy metal polluted soil.

The project was developed in three modules. The first step consists in the incorporation of metals to the cell, specifically mercury .The second module is a biosensor that uses degreening system, which will allow us to notice the mercury in the soil. To reactivate the plant photosynthesis we used a 640 nm light switch, that stops the degreening system; the final module allow the plant to survive with a big amount of mercury into its cells
