When performing plant genetic engineering, we often have to choose between cell type/tissue specific expression or condition (chemical/stress) induced.
With genetic circuits we can make a new system that combines the properties of both. Read more here:

For anyone interesting in the debate around GMOs, I did write a blog post about it:
Genetically modified myths examined.

If people want a short and accessible article summarising genetic circuits in plants (including my recent work), please check out this prelight.
I am always happy to discuss value and limitations of genetic circuits in plants or genetic engineering in general.

Hi I am a researcher building genetic circuits in plants and interesting in an academic career. Here is a link to some of my work: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.11.480167v1.abstract
Geneticist and builder of genetic circuits in plants. Also interesting in RNA biology and epigenetics.
