Helped my lecturer to design a poster ... It was about a genetically modified tomato which we called 'super tomato' :P ... spent an hour drawing a logo for it :P .. we decided that it was too corny so I finally shelved it .. but if you are curious here it is :
Cute huh :P
This tomato line has been genetically modified to carry an antifungal gene called defensin (previously known as gamma-thionin) , pretty cool to see the control plants dying left and right after being treated with fungus while this bugger just thrives.
If you are curious, the defensin gene was isolated from chilli (Capsicuum annum) using differential screening of cDNA libraries and then the gene was inserted into a vector together with a viral promoter sequence to drive the expression of the gene. Then it was inserted a well known plant bacteria (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) which is known for it's ability to insert genes into plants. The tomato was then infected with the bacteria and then using tissue culture methods, were later on regenerated as multiple clones. These clones were tested and the positive ones were grown in the field .. and voila ... fungal resistant trees.
It's only a matter of time until I can modify a plant to eat people .. then I'll give it to Siriuz as a present .. (insert evil laughter here)
