Vylor and Rainbow Crops Join Forces for Climate-Resilient Corn
Vylor and Rainbow Crops are teaming up to accelerate the development of next-generation corn traits using artificial intelligence, multiplex gene editing, precision breeding, and automated phenotyping.
The collaboration aims to create corn hybrids that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as heat, drought, and flooding, while improving input efficiency and yield potential.
Rainbow Crops' Trait Foundry platform integrates AI, multiplex genome editing, precision breeding, and automated phenotyping to modify and evaluate multiple genes simultaneously. This approach is particularly suited for complex traits like drought tolerance and plant vigor.
Mat Muller, who will lead Vylor Edge, expects this combination to shorten development timelines and improve the precision of trait discovery.
