Crop Improvement Technologies
Global demand of crops for food, feed and fuel is rapidly increasing due to several key factors as the increasing global population and changes in its nutritional needs, energy consumption, water and land resources scarcity and crop abiotic and biotic stress among others. Thus, it is necessary to keep investing research effort and economic resources in the development of enhanced crop varieties in terms of greater yield potential, higher stress tolerance and improved nutritional characteristics.
Agrobiotechnology has proven its ability as an efficient crop breeding and genetic improvement tool for the development of better, more efficient and more sustainable plant varieties.
At Iden Biotechnology we exploit our agribiotech scientific expertise for the development of genetic traits for better yielding, stress tolerant and nutritionally enhanced crops. Based on a global food, feed and fuel market-oriented vision our technologies are primarily tested on crops of high market interest like corn, barley or potato among others.
Our resources are invested in the development of robust and innovative technologies for crop improvement. We work both individually and in collaboration with private and public institutions. Additionally, we actively seek for collaboration with technology transfer offices with a common commercialization objective in order to multiply the marketing and licensing opportunities.
Our IP portfolio includes different plant based technologies for quality traits introduction (starch content increase), yield increase, nutritional profile enhancement and stress tolerance. Crop improvement technologies target the seed producing industry.
