Background Mental health Major topic of discussion in our present day Anxiety disorders OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, etc. Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the US 18% of the population 25.1% of adolescents aged 13-18 are affected by anxiety disorders Lavender aroma has been proven to be a successful treatment for anxiety and depression.
Scent Regulation Through Genes Scent - method of reproduction used to attract pollinators. A flower's fragrance is made up of volatile chemicals which evaporate in the air and produce scent. These compounds are called terpenoids are formed through: * Enzymes (acetyl-CoA) that can be activated through DNA transcriptional activation of SREBP (sterol regulatory element- binding protein-1 and -2). Activating the genes that code for these proteins would increase the production of lavender scent in the plant
System Level Lavender Plant Lavandula Superplant!
