About this program

Market opportunity & engineering strategy

Show ↓

Market Opportunity

World's most-consumed fruit/vegetable at 182 million metric tons/year. A tomato that burns like a pepper is a category-creating product across sauces, salsas, canning, fresh produce, and the $4.3B hot sauce market.

Engineering Strategy

92% synteny with Capsicum annuum. 4-5 heterologous genes (pAMT, Pun1/CS, KAS, BCAT). Fruit-specific promoters (E8, 2A11, PG) for placenta/pericarp expression. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, 20-40% efficiency. Seed to fruit in 60-90 days.

Research & Institutional Access

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