| Abstract | Improving agricultural practices to ensure food security and the supply of valuable bioproducts is vitally important for society. Agricultural practices could be improved by using biotechnology to manipulate crop traits or to replace expensive pesticides with plant-produced, affordable compounds. However, both approaches require engineering multiple genes or pathways to yield predictable outcomes. Thus far, predicting the expression in plants of synthetic genes and pathways, even those composed |
