The new discipline of Synthetic biology has been focused on bacteria, but plants offer many advantages as systems for biological engineers. There is a paucity of published information however about how to control sets of genes working in concert. As an initial exploration of plant systems.   Although there has been quite a bit of some experimental  work on ribosome binding sites in plants, genomic surveysand bioinformatics studies  have been limited. Rather than engage this problem only as professionals, the problem was structured as a workshop which could draw on scientists and the public to see if interdisciplinary breadth could take on an introductory synthetic biology project. The group was posted through meetup.com for Counter Culture Labs and Berkeley Bio Labs, two groups with over 100 members each, and meet regularly every week or two at SudoRoom, a tech Maker space in downtown Oakland, CA.
