Red light triggered self-destruction – a new mechanism preventing uncontrolled spread of transgenic plants

Background &nbdash; Why generating a plant which kill itself under certain conditions?

Our solution – a red light-triggered autokill system

PhyB (Phytochrome B) - PIF3/PIF6 (Phytochrome Interacting Factor 3/6) interaction under red light exposition

Reconstitution of Split-TEV-Protease

Liberation of membrane-anchored nuclease and nuclear translocation

Disruption of the genetic material and programmed cell-death
