About this program
Market opportunity & engineering strategy
Market Opportunity
Not a food product. Role is as a validated model system for heterologous pathway testing. N. benthamiana is the most widely used plant transformation host with the fastest and highest-efficiency transformation protocols.
Engineering Strategy
85% synteny with Capsicum annuum. Agrobacterium-mediated leaf infiltration; transient expression in 3-5 days, stable transformation in 6-8 weeks. Proof-of-concept for pathway functionality, promoter testing, Pun1 variant validation.
