Pathway Edits

  • SlGDH1 and SlGOGAT simultaneous upregulation via bidirectional synthetic promoter construct for coupled glutamate flux amplification
  • Adenylosuccinate lyase SlADSL pathway boost for AMP accumulation as synergistic TAS1R1/TAS1R3 co-ligand
  • IMP dehydrogenase SlIMPDH targeted knockdown (70% via amiRNA) to preserve IMP pool from conversion to XMP
  • Cytosolic nucleotide transporter SlENT1 upregulation for enhanced cytosolic 5-nucleotide availability
  • 5-GMP synthase from Aspergillus niger heterologous expression for GMP co-accumulation in pericarp tissue
  • SlAAT2 aspartate aminotransferase overexpression for enhanced Asp-to-Glu carbon routing under TCA surplus
  • Feedback-resistant SlGS2 mutant (R297A, K299E) for plastidic glutamine synthetase desensitization
  • SlVGT3 tonoplast glutamate transporter overexpression for controlled vacuolar buffering and cytosolic pool maintenance

Key Interventions
