Vanilla is a widely used ingredient found in thousands of products

Most commercial vanilla production has been offshored. The U.S. Manufacturers that utilize natural vanilla must import this crop but this material often has issues with high prices, inconsistent supply chains, variation in quality, and imparts a heavy toll on local people and ecosystems where IT is produced. We aim to solve the current issues with vanilla by the development of a commercial vanilla planifolia plant cell culture. The liquid culture of plants is an established technology in which plants are grown as a fine suspension of small clumps or single cells. Unlike v. Planifolia plants, an v. Planifolia cell culture can be domestically-produced in a safe and high quality way without pesticides or adulterants.?our high-throughput approaches will explore more v. Planifolia genotype-phenotype and environment-phenotype space than ever before. This research will establish v. Planifolia cell culture technology as an innovative and domestic way to produce vanilla.
