Summary
The companies will use Rainbow Crops’ Trait Foundry to develop corn traits related to heat, drought and flood resilience. The collaboration is still an R&D programme, with performance to be tested through phenotyping and field trials rather than demonstrated in commercial crops.
Why it matters
