Pathway Edits
- ANR anthocyanidin reductase RNAi shifts flavan-3-ol flux away from EGCG accumulation
- LAR leucoanthocyanidin reductase RNAi reduces catechin/epicatechin precursor pool for galloylation
- F3H flavanone 3-hydroxylase modification limits dihydroflavonol substrate for catechin entry
- DFR dihydroflavonol 4-reductase engineering reduces anthocyanidin branch competition pressure
