This project is about to set up a system between human and plant in in-door areas.The gaol is to make plants interact with its owner and do aromatherapy for them.With the help of synthetic biology, it's quite possible to make one plants produce various kinds of fragrances. And release the one its host need under his/her current mood. To control the plant to make scent is not a big problem now. My main difficult is the way to connect plant and human. And it's also what I'am thinking so hard right now. | This project is about to set up a system between human and plant in in-door areas.The gaol is to make plants interact with its owner and do aromatherapy for them.With the help of synthetic biology, it's quite possible to make one plants produce various kinds of fragrances.

So I wouldn't care to much about that. Because there are a lot of people working with essential oils in their living area today *my mom for example* and I never heard 'ah Mrs. Walk thats lemongrass...are you feeling sick?'. | So I wouldn't care to much about that.

But Sebastian is right, it should be possible to tell the plant to stop or to do the opposite of what it is doing already. | But Sebastian is right, it should be possible to tell the plant to stop or to do the opposite of what it is doing already. | ||
I thought may be *yeah may be* pheromones would be a good solution to it. [ | I thought may be *yeah may be* pheromones would be a good solution to it. [[wikipedia:pheromones]] | ||
As you might know they are hormones normally found in body fluids like sweat or saliva to give others information about our body or attendance for sexual reproduction. Also plants use them to deliver special messages from one to another. May be you can give your plant when you don't like it to produce any scent or to produce the opposite scent a special mix of pheromones to let them know what you want. | As you might know they are hormones normally found in body fluids like sweat or saliva to give others information about our body or attendance for sexual reproduction.

# My Flower sets up a system between people and flower(or plants) at in-door-area. | |||
# Explain 3 questions: | |||
## Why flowers smell good?--Because some cells produce Chemicals. | |||
## How can we tell somebody's mood?--By analyze body data. | |||
## What's the connection between Fragrance and mood?--Aromatherapy. | |||
# Explain how My Flower works. | |||
## It make up with two part -- the sensor and the plant. | |||
## The sensor will be installed into human body. It will analyze host's data form time to time to tell their mood. | |||
## Then the data will send to a receiver bond to the plant. | |||
## The plant composed with various genes from different flowers.So it can give off different smells as need.And these cells can be controlled by computer with electricity. | |||
## According to the host's mood, certain cells will act to make fragrance. Then the host get feed back through the air. | |||
## It can be controlled manually as well. | |||

# Sebastian suggests me to change the mechanical sensor part to a more Biological way to get the host's data. | |||
# Pro. Damm said besides the decoration usage, flower also play a gift role in peoples' social life. Maybe I can pay some attention combining the aroma function with this aspect of it. | |||
# Dominik: I completely agree with Sebastian concerning the sensor part. As a rough suggestion, again from the scientific side: What about genetically modified neurons? They would recognize temperature changes, hormone concentration and other thinks in the human blood. As neurons are able to actively change their cell membrane potential, they could be used to transfer information to a computer via electric pulses. | |||
function with this aspect of it. | |||
