Protoplast-
CRISPR
technology

We are an early pioneer in the application of Protoplast-CRISPR technology to yield better, more resilient crops, enabling plant producers to adapt to change.

As evolving consumer preferences, climate change, and increased competition threaten crop producers and their consumers, we have made it our mission to pioneer a new approach to plant breeding for better, more resilient crops – at scale.

Our mission

To pioneer a new approach to plant breeding for better, more resilient crops at scale. 

Today we have built a proprietary BioMaas platform, used by leading agricultural producers and consumer packaged goods companies, and advance our own pipeline of optimized products, including new fruits and vegetables.
