About this program

Market opportunity & engineering strategy

Show ↓

Market Opportunity

$8.8B US bagged salad market. A spicy lettuce eliminates spicy dressing — the salad itself carries the heat. Target the 'functional salad' trend. Capsaicin in lettuce also extends shelf life (antimicrobial properties).

Engineering Strategy

Leaf crop — constitutive or leaf-specific promoters (Rubisco small subunit, cab). 10-30% transformation efficiency, Agrobacterium cotyledon/hypocotyl. Must not exacerbate bitterness from sesquiterpene lactones.

Research & Institutional Access

Universities, pharma labs, and ag-biotech teams license Lettuce constructs for research and commercial applications. Contact us with your institution and use case.
