J Plastomics tracks projects, experiments and samples with eLabJournal Case StudyGoal To work with trait providers and seed companies to create new biotech crops with enhanced traits. Plastomics Inc. is an agricultural biotechnology company developing a better way to make the next generation of biotech crops using chloroplast engineering. Nuclear engineering, used to make all current biotech crops, has become a limiting technology. Crops of the future need dozens of traits to achieve higher yields and feed a growing world population. Chloroplast engineering results in better expression of trait genes, improves “stackability” of traits, and reduces development time and costs, resulting in more rapid introduction of traits to the market and improved profits for seed companie
