Collectively, these results indicate that our synthetic sensing
gene circuit shows ligand - dependent gene expression in plants.
Our previously described synthetic de-greening
gene circuit shows a threshold - like response through generation of reactive oxygen species and photosystem disruption [7].

genes that function as
circuit breakers of ethylene signaling occurs, but protein production becomes restricted until ethylene is removed.
Because the RNAi wasn't used to dampen FOXP2 activity until 23 days after the birds hatched, the new study

circuits,» he says.
Although
showing great promise in the laboratory, these technologies require control and safety measures that make sure the engineered microorganisms keep their functional
gene circuits intact over many cell divisions, and that they are contained to the specific environments they are designed for.
