Application
AgriTech
Our increasing population, coupled with major challenges that our planet is facing, such as climate change and the decrease of our finite resources, continue to demand an increase in crop yields and resources. The need for robust, predictable and rapid engineering of plant systems is well aligned with our core capabilities.
Plant-based Bioproduct Design
Plants serve as sources for valuable compounds including medicines, flavorings, and oils. The platform enables users to design experiments, perform rapid gene shuffling, and screen multiple combinations to optimize for specific products or outcomes. About 50% of the annual increase in productivity in crops and livestock to date is estimated to have been driven by enhanced genetics.
Gene Shuffling
Perform rapid gene shuffling and screen multiple combinations to optimize for specific plant-based products or outcomes.
Combinatorial Design
Design combinatorial libraries of genetic elements to explore the design space and identify optimal gene variants for your target compounds.
Metabolic Pathway Optimization
Rewire metabolic pathways to increase accumulation of compounds with health-promoting activity or commercial value.
Crop Robustness Optimization
Optimize crops for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress, produce high yields under challenging environmental conditions, and achieve sustainability with reduced fertilizer inputs.
Stress Tolerance
Engineer crops with improved tolerance to biotic stresses (pathogens, pests) and abiotic stresses (drought, heat, salinity).
Yield Optimization
Use data-driven approaches to produce high yields even under weak or challenging environmental conditions.
Sustainability
Achieve sustainable agriculture goals with crops that require reduced fertilizer inputs and fewer chemical treatments.
Functional Food Design
Metabolic engineering of traditional seed crops with genes to improve nutritional quality. The platform supports rewiring metabolic pathways to increase accumulation of compounds with health-promoting activity.
Nutritional Enhancement
Engineer traditional seed crops such as canola with genes to improve the nutritional quality of fatty acids and other compounds.
Health-Promoting Compounds
Increase accumulation of compounds with health-promoting activity through targeted metabolic pathway engineering.
Trait Stacking
Combine multiple desirable traits in a single crop variety through systematic genetic engineering and screening.
