Pathway Edits

  • Heterologous MYB28 codon-optimized integration in Capsicum annuum genome
  • CYP79A2 heterologous expression for allyl glucosinolate oxime pathway establishment
  • TGG2 high-activity myrosinase isoform insertion for efficient AITC release
  • CYP83A1 upregulation for S-alkyl-thiohydroximate lyase activity in Capsicum
  • SUR1-encoding construct integration for isothiocyanate selectivity in heterologous host
  • UGT74B1 hetero-glucosyltransferase adapted for Capsicum metabolic background
  • Capsaicin synthase CS2 pathway modulation for AITC-to-capsaicin ratio control
  • DREB2-like cold-stress promoter integration for volatile AITC burst-release

Use Case

Tier II dual-pungency platform for complex layered heat profiles in hot sauces, artisanal chili blends, and specialty condiments requiring TRPA1-mediated mustard-heat onset paired with TRPV1-mediated capsaicin warmth. Ideal for product developers seeking novel pungency signatures not achievable through conventional botanical blending or capsaicin extraction alone.
