Pathway Edits

  • GPPS (geranyl pyrophosphate synthase) codon-optimized overexpression cassette
  • LS (limonene synthase) gain-of-expression via trichome-specific promoter swap
  • L6H (limonene-6-hydroxylase) precision upregulation for pulegone flux elevation
  • MNPQ (menthone 9-reductase) full-length coding sequence insertion
  • MNR (menthone reductase) stereoselectivity-optimized variant integration
  • PIPR (piperitone reductase) loss-of-function suppression via RNAi
  • TPS2 (terpene synthase 2) flux amplification cassette for monoterpene scaffold boost

Key Interventions

L-menthol pathway flux maximization via GPPS/LS/MNPQ co-upregulationStereoselective menthol accumulation through MNR variant engineeringTRPM8 receptor activation potency increase via elevated menthol tissue concentration
