Welcome to the Imperial College London iGEM 2011 website

Project Outline

Climate change and unsustainable farming practices have accelerated the rate of desertification to over 31,000 hectares/day. This year, Imperial College’s iGEM team have joined the international effort to fight desertification. Current initiatives to speed the recovery of the land rely on the planting of hardy pioneer species in barren soils. We hope to bolster the re-vegetative process by engineering bacteria to accelerate plant root growth by secreting auxin.
