Abstract
Abstract : The aim of the research was the creation of a model biosensing plant that could detect plant diseases and to characterize the utility of laser induced fluorescence imaging for detecting the inducible (LIFI) plant signal. Tobacco was engineered with a plant pathogen inducible promoter (GN1) fused to a green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP was upregulated in response to a salicylic acid simulant (BTH) and plant pathogens (PART 1). GFP fluorescence was low, but detectable. LIFI I/O was characterized for highly fluorescing transgenic plants (PART 2).
