ETL Benefits and IP

Agrisoma Engineered Trait Loci (ETL) technology engineers new chromosome structures that carry unique combinations of traits within an optimal genetic environment.

ETL technology allows the introduction of all desired traits in one cycle into a specific crop chromosome. This is far superior to current trait introduction methods requiring multiple cycles of randomly inserted traits.

The ETL system has produced multiple trait combinations that have gone from initial design to the field in less than two years. ETL has been successfully applied to global food crops and emerging industrial crops.
