"2025 proved that our technology delivers, not in the distant future, but right now," says Tropic CEO Gilad Gershon.

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

The future of plant genetic technology is bright—in some cases, quite literally. Bioluminescent golf courses, houseplants that emit tailored fragrances or flowers capable of changing their color in ...

Cytotrait is developing crop engineering technology for precise gene editing in plant organelles to enable crops with ...

As an avid gardener will tell you, plants with sharp thorns and prickles can leave you looking like you’ve had a run-in with an angry cat. Wouldn’t it be nice to rid plants of their prickles entirely ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...
