The METAPRO project focuses on optimizing the production of valuable isoprenoid compounds, specifically astaxanthin and crocin, using genetic engineering in tomato and potato plants. The goal is to create sustainable bio-resources for industrial and health applications.
In the METAPRO project we aim to optimise the production of several useful isoprenoid derived secondary metabolites to demonstrate the tools and strategies developed for the generic production of useful secondary metabolites in plants.
Astaxanthin (ketocarotenoids) and the apocarotenoid crocin have been selected to demonstrate the application of the technologies adopted and developed.
These compounds are of high-value and used in the industrial and health sectors.
Both are classical secondary pl…
