Pathway Edits

  • HPT1 prenyltransferase RNAi reduces isopentyl diphosphate prenylation onto phlorisovalerophenone
  • OMT1 O-methyltransferase RNAi disrupts the methylphloracetophenone branch feeding humulone
  • CHS_H1 chalcone synthase attenuation reduces phlorisovalerophenone substrate pool for HPT1
  • 4CL 4-coumarate:CoA ligase modification limits feruloyl-CoA availability for α-acid priming
