PlantArcBio is an ag-biotech company developing biological and genetic discovery technologies to improve crop performance. In the crop nutrition space, PlantArcBio has developed RNAi-based approaches to enhance crop performance and yield. Following a previous development program in this area, we are seeking to advance RNAi-based biostimulants with fertilizer and crop-nutrition companies, combining our proprietary RNAi know-how and IP with partners’ formulation, field-validation and commercialization capabilities.

Your IFA Innovation Platform Profile

What collaboration are we looking for?

We are seeking fertilizer and crop-nutrition companies interested in jointly developing RNAi-based biostimulants to improve crop performance and yield. An ideal collaboration would combine PlantArcBio’s RNAi discovery capabilities and proprietary IP with a partner’s formulation expertise, field-testing capabilities, regulatory experience and commercial access. We are particularly interested in partners that can support product development and validation across major crops and geographies.

What solutions and opportunities are we offering?

PlantArcBio offers deep expertise in RNAi discovery and development for agriculture, including identification and validation of RNAi solutions that can enhance crop performance. We can contribute proprietary RNAi IP, biological discovery capabilities and plant-based validation to joint biostimulant development programs. In addition, our DIPPER™ platform enables high-throughput discovery of gene edits for crop improvement, including traits such as yield, climate resilience, disease resistance and nutritional quality.
