Nepeta cataria L. (catnip) can serve as a chassis for the engineering of secondary metabolic pathways
Preclinical
Abstract
Nepeta cataria (catnip) was evaluated as a metabolic-engineering host. The plant was amenable to Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression and, when biosynthetic genes were introduced, produced cannabinoid-precursor olivetolic acid glycosides, demonstrating catnip's potential as a chassis for engineering secondary metabolic pathways.
