A Unique Model Platform for C4 Plant Systems and Synthetic Biology

Abstract

We are developing Setaria viridis as a C4 model to accelerate metabolic engineering of key C4 crop species. A genome scale metabolic reconstruction was produced using our C4GEM framework. The reconstruction accounted for 1230 genes and 1588 reactions. The reconstruction was used to guide the comparison of transcriptome proteome and central metabolome in mature and immature tissue. Preliminary data were obtained suggesting successful agrobacterium mediated transformation
