Pathway Edits

  • SlGOGAT1 NADH-dependent glutamate synthase isoform 1 overexpression under fruit-ripening MADS-box RIN promoter for pericarp-specific GS-GOGAT cycle amplification
  • SlGS2 plastidic glutamine synthetase upregulation via dual 35S promoter for chloroplast glutamine synthetase expansion supporting GOGAT substrate supply
  • SlFd-GOGAT ferredoxin-dependent GOGAT chloroplast isoform overexpression for photosynthetically driven glutamate synthesis complementing NADH-GOGAT
  • SlGDH glutamate dehydrogenase overexpression as overflow safety valve ensuring excess ammonium is channeled into glutamate rather than GABA or free ammonia
  • SlNiR nitrite reductase upregulation for enhanced inorganic nitrogen reduction to ammonium supplying GS-GOGAT cycle input
  • SlNR nitrate reductase isoform 2 overexpression for expanded nitrate-to-nitrite conversion, amplifying nitrogen supply to GS
  • SlGS1;3 cytosolic glutamine synthetase isoform 3 ectopic overexpression in pericarp under 2A11 promoter for localized high-expression GS activity
  • SlSNAT serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase partial suppression to reduce photorespiratory ammonium re-fixation competition with primary GS-GOGAT

Key Interventions

GS-GOGAT cycle optimization via GOGAT1/GS2/Fd-GOGAT triple upregulation for maximum net glutamate export in tomato pericarpNitrogen assimilation amplification through NiR/NR upregulation ensuring substrate supply to GS-GOGAT glutamate synthesis cycleOverflow GDH expression preventing ammonium accumulation and directing excess nitrogen into glutamate mGluR1 agonist pool
