Evogene and CIRAD expand their cotton collaboration
EVO133 is Evogene's candidate gene for yield, and yield stability under drought, heat and salinity conditions. EVO133 has been tested in three seasons of field trials in processing tomato varieties and has demonstrated its potential to increase yield under normal conditions, reduce yield penalty under drought conditions as well as under salinity and heat stresses. The validation of EVO133 is also advancing in other target crops under other collaborations, which have been announced publicly, namely in Corn with Biogemma and Soybean with Mertec.
