Plants can be engineered as biofactories for the production of high-value compounds, leveraging their sophisticated biosynthetic capabilities and scalability. The production of nutraceuticals and health-promoting compounds in plants has gained significant attention. Metabolic engineering approaches have successfully enhanced the production of various bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids, in crop plants. For instance, tomatoes and soybeans have been engineered to produce increased levels of flavonoids with potential health benefits . These efforts not only aim to improve the nutritional quality of crops but also offer a sustainable source of valuable compounds for the food and supplement industries.
