Cibus Joins UK Agriculture Innovation Project
Cibus announced its participation as a key technology partner in a research and development project funded by the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Announced this week, the project is part of the Farming Innovation Programme, with Defra investing in mid-stage precision breeding projects designed to strengthen the resilience and productivity of UK agriculture. Cibus will apply its proprietary gene-editing expertise to address the sustainable protection of oilseed rape against Light Leaf Spot disease. "We are excited to be chosen for this critical program and to support the UK's vision for a more resilient agricultural sector," said Tony Moran, Senior Vice President of International Development at Cibus. "By integrating our precision breeding technology with the world-class research at the John Innes Centre and the University of Hertfordshire, the project aims to provide a vital tool for farmers. Our Rapid Trait Development System enables precise gene edits in elite OSR breeding lines, significantly shortening the time needed to bring new traits to market."
