[DIYbio] A silly thought regarding plants and yeast

Yes I have thought of that once. Suggested it in Genspace once. Got positive feedback as far as ideas go but never went past that.

Lichen seems to have it good via haustorium. It keeps the components apart yet provides a surface area to share mictonutreants.

Everything after this point is speculative with a hint of goog guess. I would assume something in one would cancel the other. The thing that would really pop your idea out of existance is the shared intron editing mechanism. Fungi do it one way, plants do it the other way.

If you manage to keep the two nuclei apart then you might still have something viable. Yeast can have multiple nuclei if I am not mistaken. Question is, can plants?

A minimal genome yeast with merged with a minimal plant protoplast would be a good start.

I have an idea to keep minimizing a shared genome such as the one you mentioned but not ready to share the though here yet.

After minimizing the genome you could get enough that you could recode, intron replace, and optimize.
