Pathway Edits

  • TPS-TER (terpineol-selective terpene synthase) codon-optimized overexpression in Mentha × piperita
  • GPPS (geranyl pyrophosphate synthase) upregulation for GPP/LPP precursor flux
  • DXS (1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase) MEP pathway rate-limiting amplification
  • Terpineol hydratase suppression to prevent alpha-terpineol hydration to terpineol-4-ol

Key Interventions

Alpha-terpineol TRPM8 agonist overproduction via TPS-TER/GPPS co-upregulation in MenthaMEP pathway DXS amplification for enhanced IPP/DMAPP precursor availabilityTRPM8 activation with lilac-floral-pine cooling character distinct from menthol
