Pathway Edits

  • PPO1 overexpression (polyphenol oxidase 1) for catechin ortho-quinone formation and theaflavin initiation
  • LAC3 laccase amplification for complementary oxidative coupling of flavan-3-ol substrates
  • CYP78A5 upregulation for subsidiary oxidative modification of flavan-3-ol substrates
  • peroxidase-1 co-expression for H2O2-dependent oxidative coupling in thearubigin formation
  • Protoplast PEG-fusion transient and stable integration protocol
