The world's leader in plant genetic modification, we are a team comprised of multiple inter-disciplinary fields all working together to improve the crops for our future.
UWM black and gold logo The P.E.M. Commitee and Research Team are proud to announce the discovery of a new gene trait that may indicate the potential for more nutritious crops. This trait involves the insertion of genes that enhance the plant's ability to store water in its cells, increase root depth, and improve the efficiency of photosynthesis under water stress.
The goal of crop genetic modification is to improve agricultural productivity, food quality, and sustainability, while also addressing challenges posed by climate change, pests, and global food demand.
