About this program
Market opportunity & engineering strategy
Market Opportunity
Salsa verde market worth $1.2B in the US. A spicy tomatillo eliminates added jalapeño or serrano — the tomatillo itself carries the heat. Natural pairing: tomatillos and chili peppers already grow side by side.
Engineering Strategy
Fruit-specific promoters, 4-5 heterologous genes (same architecture as tomato).
Research & Institutional Access
Universities, pharma labs, and ag-biotech teams license Tomatillo constructs for research and commercial applications. Contact us with your institution and use case.
