<p>The 2010 Nevada iGEM team has three goals for this year’s competition.  First, we are going to test the validity of utilizing Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts (NT cells), plant cells without the cell wall, as a model for the expression of higher plant genes for future iGEM competitions.  This system is useful in the respect that the time it takes to obtain transgenic lines of cells is greatly reduced compared to the time to obtain transgenic plants.  <html>

Promoters

Finished_final.png 35S Promoter Team:Nevada/registry submissions


The 35S promoter is frequently used as a constitutive promoter in plant research, primarily Arabidopsis experiments, and has been demonstrated to work in Nicotiana tabacum (Kuluev et al, 2010). This promoter normally drives transcription of the Cauliflower mosaic virus genome and shows no tissue or developmental specificity (Keller et al, 2002). For these reasons, the 2010 Nevada iGEM team modified the 35S promoter to conform to BioBrick standards, providing a reliable constitutive promoter to future iGEM teams wishing to engineer plants.
