Israeli-U.S. cooperation on crop breeding for Europe by directed mutagenesis
Israeli crop-protection company Makhteshim-Agan is investing $37 million in San Diego ag-tech startup Cibus Global to spur the development of new strains of crops that will be resistant to various forms of disease, pests, and herbicides. [...] Unlike the transgenic approach used by Monsanto, where a foreign gene is inserted into a plant’s genome to confer, [...] Cibus’s technology teases out such characteristics from the genome without inserting foreign material.
