DISCO

From DISCOvery to products: A next generation pipeline for the sustainable generation of high-value plant products


Description

Plant natural products have been utilised by human civilisation for millennia. More recently bioactive compounds from plant sources have been used in cosmetics, as health supplements and are important components of feedstuffs. Despite significant investments new activities and new sustainable biosources are required today to reduce or eliminate chemical refining and thus environmental impact. Against this backdrop, DISCO aims to understand plant biosynthetic pathways involved in the formation of high-value plant products and develop new tools for metabolic engineering and molecular breeding to generate new biosources of bioactive and industrial phytochemicals.
