Capsaicinoid biosynthesis is complex and influenced by multiple factors.
Transferring the pathway to a new host species is a viable strategy.
Tomato is proposed as a suitable host for capsaicinoid production.

Conclusions:

Activating the capsaicinoid pathway in tomato could lead to novel pungent crops.
This approach offers a new avenue for capsaicinoid production.
Further research is needed to explore the feasibility of this strategy.
