Reimagining the art and science of plant breeding using an evolutionary lens
About Ohalo Genetics
Ohalo Genetics is a biotechnology company that has developed a proprietary technology called "Boosted Breeding". This technology alters the reproductive process of plants, enabling them to pass on their entire genome to their offspring, rather than the usual random half. This method of asexual reproduction through seeds allows for the rapid development of new crop varieties with desirable traits, such as higher yields and improved resilience.
The company's process can significantly shorten the time it takes to bring a new crop variety to market, reducing the typical 10-12 year cycle to just a few years. Ohalo works with a wide range of crops, including potatoes, corn, and berries, and partners with other companies in the agricultural sector to develop and commercialize these new varieties.
By creating true seeds that are genetically identical to the parent plant, Ohalo's technology offers a more efficient and predictable breeding process. This has the potential to address challenges in the food supply chain by increasing crop productivity and developing plants that are better adapted to changing environmental conditions.
