We strive to obtain crops that are resistant to a combination of herbicides, aiming to reduce the dose of each one in the mix and with that the environmental charge.
TECHNOLOGY
PLATFORMS
HEURIK™
We use directed evolution and rational design of herbicide targets to identify mutations that confer herbicide resistance in crops. Our high-throughput platform can select gene variants and compare their efficiency in microorganisms anticipating their effect in crops.
SWAP™
Our non-GMO platform combines tissue culture protocols and state-of-the-art gene editing techniques to precisely introduce changes that confer herbicide resistance in plants.
CROPS
Soybean
At Bioheuris, we are editing elite germplasm. We have collaborations with
Santa Rosa Semillas,
Grupo Don Marioand
ACAall having commercial channels in the main markets.
Sorghum
This crop is of great importance to increase agricultural productivity. In partnership with
Tobin, a leader in sorghum breeding and seed production, we are editing elite lines to bring new hybrids to international markets more rapidly and efficiently.
Cotton
Cotton is the most important fiber crop in the world and its cultivation is one of the oldest. With Gensus
, the Argentine cotton seed company, we are developing herbicides resistant varieties to combat weeds, which, in addition to reducing yield, contaminate cotton lint, reducing its quality.
Alfalfa
This perennial forage has great nutritional value for livestock. At
Bioheuriswe are developing herbicide resistant cultivars to bring farmers a more sustainable and efficient weed management.
