Agriculturally advantaged traits: The Digest’s 2017 Multi-Slide Guide to Calyxt

Calyxt is pioneering a paradigm shift to deliver both healthier specialty food ingredients, such as healthier oils and high fiber wheat for consumers as well as agriculturally advantageous traits, such as herbicide tolerance to farmers.

The technology enables Calyxt to precisely and specifically edit a plant genome to elicit the desired traits and characteristics, resulting in a final product that has no foreign DNA. The company recently went public and the stock has been rising meteorically ever since.
