Develop technology to more effectively use traits to improve crops, both for human health and superior food quality
Plant proteins, metabolites, and metabolic pathways are directly linked to crop traits such as high yields, disease resistance, and product quality. They also provide a starting point for new ways to breed superior products for human health and improved food quality.
KeyGene works with our partners to explore the field of metabolomics & proteomics and to come up with new innovations for crop improvement.
We take advantage of the latest technology in biochemistry to rapidly analyze hundreds of plant metabolites simultaneously, gaining fresh insights into the correlation between plant compounds and plant traits.
Impact
KeyGene uses its widely recognized expertise in DNA & RNA technology, data science, and trait technology to understand and take advantage of the variation in proteins, metabolites and metabolic pathways.
As variation is better understood, we develop protocols to help breeders screen large numbers of plants to improve efficiency and develop better crops.
