CRISPR proteins are used to target and edit plant DNA, providing farmers with new varieties of crops that require less resources to grow. allowing for reduced pesticide use, and improved drought resistance.
Pairwise, an agricultural gene-editing company supported by Monsanto (now Bayer), uses CRISPR proteins to target and edit plant DNA. The goal is to assist farmers by providing new varieties of crops that require less growing resources. The company focuses on CRISPR-Cas9 applied research to improve agriculture, and supports researchers in applying technologies to reduce food waste, limit pesticides and improve drought resistance. The company has also used its gene-editing platform to develop branded leafy greens, seedless berries and pitless cherries.
