About this program
Market opportunity & engineering strategy
Market Opportunity
World's fourth-largest food crop (376 million metric tons/year). Spicy fries, spicy chips, and spicy mashed potatoes represent a snack-food revolution. 1% of the US potato market = $200M+ opportunity.
Engineering Strategy
86% synteny with Capsicum. Tuber-specific promoters (patatin B33, GBSS) instead of fruit-specific — capsaicinoid must accumulate in tuber tissue, not leaves. 15-30% transformation efficiency, Agrobacterium-mediated.
Research & Institutional Access
Universities, pharma labs, and ag-biotech teams license Potato constructs for research and commercial applications. Contact us with your institution and use case.
