Pathway Edits

  • GAS germacrene A synthase RNAi blocks sesquiterpene backbone formation upstream of lactucopicrin
  • TLS (+)-trans-lactonase modification reduces lactucopicrin lactone ring stability and accumulation
  • TLGS RNAi silences taraxacin lignan synthase branch producing lactucopicrin sesquiterpene precursors
  • Mevalonate pathway throttle reduces total isoprenoid substrate pool available for sesquiterpene entry

Use Case

Tier III Brassica oleracea lines with reduced sesquiterpene lactone burden for applications in fresh-cut vegetables, dehydrated greens, and functional ingredient concentrates where lactucopicrin-associated bitterness detracts from product palatability and consumer acceptance.
