Pathway Edits

  • CHS overexpression (chalcone synthase)
  • CHI amplification (chalcone isomerase)
  • ANS upregulation (anthocyanidin synthase)
  • ANR high-flux variant (anthocyanidin reductase)
  • F3'H enhancement (flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase)
  • Biolistic tungsten-particle coating for leaf/seed explant delivery
  • Enhanced flux via 5'UTR synthetic leader sequence optimization

Key Interventions
