The team SCAU-China 2016 was set up in late 2004. The team consists of 15 members who was selected from nearly 100 undergraduates of South China Agricultural University.
Our team has been working on the iGEM-2016 project for two years. In this project, we used a crop plant rice (Orazy sativa L.) as chassis organism to produce a genetically modified organism (GMO) named aSTARice, which is able to produce astaxanthin in the rice endosperm. To achieve this goal, four genes derived from maize, algae, and bacteria respectively were expressed in transgenic rice driven by endosperm-specific promoters.
In the past two years, we have successfully held several public activities such as open laboratory day and a Bauhinia Scientific and Cultural Festival in our university, which attracted around hundreds and thousands of people to visit a laboratory of molecular biology, to understand how a GMO is generated in the lab.
During the period of our project, we gave several biology courses for middle school students, kids and farmers on knowledge about modern agriculture in the ruler countryside in our province. Thereby, we promoted the knowledge of synthetic biology and impact of iGEM in human practices.
