Programs

Soy pipeline complete. Corn chloroplast broken open. Canola proof of concept achieved.

A commercial-stage soybean platform, the industry's first-ever chloroplast transformation in corn, and proof of concept in canola protoplasts — with peer-reviewed science anchoring our corn gene-editing capability.
