Gene Discovery Platform

FuturaGene has, through its institutional partners, developed a robust gene discovery platform using the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana and the salt cress Thellungiella halophila. Our platform relies on a phenotype-directed functional genomics technology, that enables us to more rapidly and efficiently discover genes and the traits they confer, such as salt, drought, cold, heat stress and improved biomass.

Our Gene Discovery Platform has resulted in a strong intellectual property portfolio that involves plant abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms. At present, we have patents issued and pending for more than 40 genes and genetic engineering technologies.

Our world renowned partners continue to provide important support for our development programs and a source of discoveries that provide an enriched pipeline of technologies.
