Pathway Edits

  • PS (pulegone synthase) upregulation to increase pulegone intermediate flux toward menthone
  • L6H (limonene-6-hydroxylase) overexpression for enhanced hydroxylation toward menthol precursors
  • PIPR-RNAi (piperitone reductase RNAi) knockdown to prevent piperitone branch competition
  • GPPS (geranyl pyrophosphate synthase) monoterpene precursor upregulation cassette
  • MNPQ (menthone 9-reductase) loss-of-expression to prevent menthone-to-menthol conversion

Key Interventions

Menthone accumulation via PIPR knockdown and PS/L6H co-upregulation in Mentha × piperitaMNPQ suppression to preserve menthone pool rather than converting to downstream mentholTRPM8 precursor compound elevation with distinct minty-camphoraceous cooling character
