Pathway Edits

  • CYP79A2 (phenylalanine N-monooxygenase) overexpression for benzyl glucosinolate oxime biosynthesis from phenylalanine
  • UGT74C1 (glucosyltransferase) upregulation for glucobenzyl glucosinolate assembly and storage efficiency
  • TGG1 myrosinase integration for glucobenzyl hydrolysis and BITC release upon tissue disruption
  • ESP knockdown to minimize nitrile and episulfide byproduct formation from benzyl glucosinolate
  • CYP83B1 (N-hydroxy-benzylaldoxime synthase) upregulation for aromatic glucosinolate intermediate flux
  • SUR1 C-S lyase integration for thiohydroximate-to-glucosinolate conversion efficiency in Nasturtium
  • MYB34 transcription factor upregulation for aromatic glucosinolate pathway transcriptional reinforcement
  • Vacuolar GLT1-like transporter enhancement for glucobenzyl glucosinolate storage and controlled release

Key Interventions

CYP79A2-driven benzyl glucosinolate pathway amplification for BITC-selective TRPA1 electrophilic activation in Nasturtium officinaleESP knockdown combined with TGG1 myrosinase integration maximizes BITC yield and minimizes non-pungent nitrile formationAromatic glucosinolate-to-BITC cascade validated by TRPA1 calcium-flux assay with IFI-P subscale scoringT-DNA binary vector 2A11 system validated for tissue-specific stable genomic integration

Use Case

Tier V BITC-enriched Nasturtium ingredient for peppery-mustard flavor applications, watercress-flavor concentrate production, and TRPA1-selective electrophilic pungency in dressings, fresh salad ingredients, and specialty condiments. Suitable for culinary ingredient manufacturers and functional food developers targeting the sharp, nasal-trigeminal activation signature of authentic fresh Nasturtium without supply-chain agronomic constraints.
