  • Publication number: 20230309575
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of producing particular metabolites of interest by engineered crop plants such as transgenic crop plants. Provided are methods that are easily applicable by farmers to determine when the metabolites of interest have reached an optimal content in the plant. These methods also help to facilitate decisions about the timeframe for preparing harvest or harvesting the engineered crop plant.
