Enhancing seed and crop traits via biotechnology

Crop Biotech

Companies that develop or use biological, physical and chemical agents and techniques to provide protection and improve the quality of a seed. This includes the sale of seed coating, or seed enhancement products as methods to treat seeds.

Companies that redesign large clusters of genes and gene parts rather than modifying or engineering a single gene for improving the traits of a plant.

Companies that utilize genetic engineering tools and technologies to use existing and naturally present gene variants in a plant and the natural process of breeding such as inbreeding, and linebreeding to develop better traits for plants.

Companies that use transgenesis processes like tissue culturing to develop transgenic plants or seeds by inserting new genes into them from other plants or in certain instances other organisms like bacteria or even animals.

Companies that offer techniques such as epigenetics, RNA interference (RNAi) to temporarily block a specific gene that would trigger unwanted effect such as a disease on a plant.

Companies that develop a platform to insert, edit, or delete the DNA of a plant itself using approaches such as CRISPR-Cas 9, TALENs, and Zinc Fingers. These approaches help develop plant genes or seeds with traits such as disease-resistant, enhanced-performance, or improve yield.

Technology for a regenerative future in agriculture

Regenerative Agriculture Platforms

Platforms using IoT devices and machine-learning algorithms to measure and analyze soil carbon levels

Platforms using IoT devices and machine-learning algorithms to measure and analyze other key soil parameters, such as fertility, moisture content, temperature, and nutrient concentrations

Platforms providing farm planning, landscape designing, and consultation services to create awareness of the transition to regenerative agriculture

Platforms using AI and machine learning to monitor regenerative practices such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and no-till operations. Certain platforms also support farmers financially via carbon credits to adopt regenerative practices

Platforms supporting the process of promoting soil health through soil carbon removal (soil carbon sequestration) via photosynthesis or by employing live microalgae

Platforms connecting farmers, investors, resource providers, and other stakeholders related to regenerative agriculture
