Pathway Edits

  • PPO1-alt overexpression (activity-enhanced polyphenol oxidase allele) for controlled catechin oxidation
  • PPO2-RNAi silencing to suppress uncontrolled browning from PPO2 activity
  • LAC1 laccase upregulation for complementary catechin ortho-quinone formation
  • TDC co-expression (tryptophan decarboxylase) for auxiliary oxidative substrate channeling
  • Cell-free wheat germ extract reconstitution system

Key Interventions

PPO1/PPO2 activity ratio control for precision-managed catechin oxidative couplingLAC1 laccase complementation for expanded oxidative astringency architecturePPO2-RNAi browning suppression for astringency enhancement without oxidative browning artifactsSP6/T7 dual-polymerase cell-free transcription/translation
