Colombia	2011	"Detect and alert" system, as a defense aid for coffee plantations against fungi [1]	Bacteria are built such that they can detect chitin, an organic compound found in fungal cell walls, amplify this initial signal, and finally alert the plant by stimulating an early hypersensitive response against infection, while controlling their own population density	A few ideas but no design: 1. amplification mostly from start to stop codon to avoid hidden pathogenicity + blast of sequences to confirm 2. Cloning in vectors without a mobilizable origin or TRA region. 3.growth curve of the strain to confirm low dissemination. 4. develop a strategy to monitory the presence of the modified bacteria in the crops fields based on color markers (no design made).
