Researchers at MIT have found a way to grow bacteria to function as signal-senders that might allow plants to "sense and respond to environmental conditions such as drought or attack by pests". The study was published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology and details a novel way to design synthetic biology circuits that uses individual The post MIT researchers engineer bacteria that could program
