About this program
Market opportunity & engineering strategy
Market Opportunity
Non-food ornamental used as a research model for floral organ engineering. Validates capsaicinoid expression in a floral tissue — if petals can accumulate capsaicinoids, this informs strategy for broccoli (inflorescence) and cauliflower.
Engineering Strategy
5-6 heterologous genes, CaMV 35S or petal-specific promoters. Phenylpropanoid pathway highly active (produces anthocyanins for petal color).
Research & Institutional Access
Universities, pharma labs, and ag-biotech teams license Petunia constructs for research and commercial applications. Contact us with your institution and use case.
