New collaboration in crop engineering

Collaborating on functional annotation to accelerate crop improvement

Corteva Agriscience™ and Annogen B.V. are working together to functionally annotate thousands of expression elements in maize.

Leveraging Annogen’s innovative FACE™ technology, an adaptation of its SuRE™ screen, the collaboration will rapidly assess the impact of non-coding variants on gene expression in plant protoplasts.

By analyzing these variants, Corteva and Annogen B.V.’s work will aim to decipher sequence rules that govern gene expression.

This knowledge will be invaluable for accelerating crop improvement efforts by enabling more precise and efficient genetic engineering through Corteva’s Genlytix Platform™.
