Pathway Edits

  • ANR overexpression (anthocyanidin reductase)
  • F3H upregulation (flavanone 3-hydroxylase)
  • DFR amplification (dihydroflavonol 4-reductase)
  • TT12 vacuolar transporter enhancement
  • Biolistic tungsten-particle coating for leaf/seed explant delivery
  • Enhanced flux via 5'UTR synthetic leader sequence optimization
