Biotech Tools That Work

Among the biggest challenges that farmers have always faced are the yield losses due to unfavourable weather. We cannot change the weather, but Performance Plants technologies will allow crops to adapt, to reduce the impact of inclement weather.

Performance Plants has based its discovery program (YPT®, HEAT™, WET™, BET™ and ECT™) on the fact that small changes in plant metabolism can have profound positive impacts on crop productivity and quality. This concept has allowed plant breeders over the millennia to turn weeds like teosinte into useful crops like corn.

Performance Plants has over 100 patents issued and pending for a suite of plant-based tehnologies that result in significantly more bushels per acre and improved crop characteristics. These technologies involve modifying the expression of certain key plant genes through genetic modification or advanced breeding methods.
