Evogene licenses transformation technology from Midwest Oilseeds, Inc.
Evogene uses a proprietary computational gene discovery platform to discover key genes related to agricultural traits and validates them through model and target plants. Transformation is the process of inserting the genes into the genome of plants to create plants expressing the desired trait. The transformation technology licensed-in intends to allow Evogene to more efficiently validate its candidate genes and further advance in the trait development pipeline. Evogene's pipeline includes groups of genes targeted at improving agricultural traits such as: yield, yield stability via tolerance to abiotic stress (mainly drought and salinity), nitrogen use efficiency, enhancement of cotton fiber quality and improved oil yield for biodiesel production.
