Pathway Edits

  • LAR-short overexpression (truncated leucoanthocyanidin reductase variant) for low-DP catechin unit production
  • ANR-low expression (low-activity anthocyanidin reductase) to limit PA chain elongation
  • TT12-alt alternative vacuolar transporter preferentially sequesters short-chain PAs for smooth-finish accumulation
  • T-DNA right-border optimized integration cassette
  • Enhanced flux via 5'UTR synthetic leader sequence optimization

Key Interventions
