Optimising a novel carbon nanodot based plant transformation system to expand and improve upon pre-existing plant transformation methods (Agrobacterium, Biolistics). The aims of the project are to engineer a system capable of universal usage across plant species, transformation of orphan crops (i.e Sorghum), increased speed of obtaining successful transformants, increased efficiency of transformation, and increased transformation possibilities. A particular focus will be given to orphan crops such as Sorghum due to the current inability to quickly and efficiently produce successful transformants, which is problematic given Sorghum's presence as a vital staple crop in African nations.

优化一种新的基于碳纳米点的植物转化系统，以扩展和改进现有的植物转化方法(农杆菌、生物化学)。该项目的目标是设计一种能够跨植物物种普遍使用的系统，转化孤儿作物(即高粱)，提高获得成功转化的速度，提高转化效率，并增加转化的可能性。由于目前无法快速有效地生产成功的转基因作物，将特别关注高粱等孤儿作物，考虑到高粱作为非洲国家的重要主食作物的存在，这是有问题的。
