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
  • Protoplast PEG-fusion transient and stable integration protocol
  • Enhanced flux via 5'UTR synthetic leader sequence optimization
