Bridging Continents: Collaborative Innovations in Genome Editing for Wheat Breeding in Australia Abstract uri icon

abstract

  • Inari Agriculture is designing seeds to meet the challenges of feeding a growing global population while minimizing environmental impact. We use our SEEDesignTM platform to overcome these challenges by understanding the complexity of traits and creating genetic diversity.

    Our platform integrates Predictive Design and Advanced Multiplex Gene Editing tools to develop resilient seeds that require fewer natural resources and inputs, in a shorter time and lower costs than current approaches. In Predictive Design, we harness the power of data, Artificial Intelligence, and cell-based assays to gain an understanding of the genes and pathways that underpin crop traits crucial for performance under varying environmental conditions.

    Once the target sequences have been identified, we generate new allelic diversity using our Multiplex Editing toolbox to deliver multiple types of changes into elite parental lines.

    We are pleased to present outcomes from our collaboration with InterGrain, which focuses on editing InterGrain elite wheat lines to accelerate wheat improvement in Australia.
