Project Description

We are the 2015 National Yang Ming University iGEM team from Taiwan. iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) is an international synthetic biology competition hosted by the iGEM Foundation where renowned universities around the world participate. All iGEM teams concretize their creative ideas with synthetic biology and realize their concepts using scientific methods. NYMU has taken part in iGEM since 2007 and has been constantly rewarded for outstanding performances.



This year, we shifted our focus to disease problems of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), one of the world’s major grain crops. We hope to establish a well-rounded defense system via transformed microbes with synthetic biology techniques to reduce the prevalence of the potato late blight disease, a consequence of water mold (Phytophthora infestans) infection. Given the 2012 North Carolina, US and the recent Zhangjiakou, China outbreaks, we fervently hope to first construct the biological defense system in our local main producing origins of potatoes, Taichung City and Yunlin County, Taiwan. We seek to not only secure the supply of our food sources, but also to help farmers ride through the predicament.
