Inari Agriculture is designing seeds to meet the challenges of feeding a growing global population while minimizing environmental impact. 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. In 2021, we started a collaboration with InterGrain to work on wheat with a focus on increasing yield in Australia.

I will share some of what we have learned so far and my thoughts on how we can harness genome editing to enhance traits in wheat.
