Genspace's ongoing project exploring plant biology and gene-editing with liverworts
OPEN PLANT
The Open Plant Collaboration explores plant biology and gene-editing using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a model organism for plant synthetic biology, to generate complex proteins.
Project Description:
Group members learn plant tissue culture and genetic engineering techniques, applying them to liverworts as an accessible model system for exploring how plants can be engineered to produce useful compounds. The project is part of Genspace’s ongoing slate of community projects, open to members interested in plant biology, gene-editing, and citizen science.
