DuPont Pioneer and Mendel Biotechnology collaborating to improve water use efficiency and photosynthesis in corn

In Iowa, DuPont Pioneer and Mendel Biotechnology have entered into a license collaboration to evaluate and commercialize new gene leads for increased water use efficiency and improved photosynthesis in corn. Under the agreement, DuPont Pioneer and Mendel will evaluate these new gene leads and test them for yield-enhancement traits in Pioneer® brand corn products. These gene leads were identified by Mendel in its next-generation plant physiology platform.
