About:
Plastomics is pioneering a novel approach to crop improvement through chloroplast genetic engineering. Their technology platform allows for the precise insertion of beneficial traits directly into the chloroplasts of plant cells, resulting in crops with enhanced properties. Plastomics’ platform streamlines the breeding process, reducing time and cost. Crops developed using Plastomics' technology can exhibit higher yields, increased resistance to pests and diseases, and enhanced nutritional value. Their approach can contribute to more sustainable agriculture by reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides. Plastomics is actively developing commercial row crops, such as corn and soybeans, to demonstrate the potential of their technology to address the challenges facing modern agriculture.
