Dow says the technology can add, edit, or delete genes at targeted locations in plant genomes, which makes it applicable to engineering of multi-gene stacks, editing native gene sequences, and targeted gene disruption in crops. This new research is expected to extend those capabilities into the potato, a crop that is considered difficult to breed using conventional methods.<\/p>\n<p>Under the agreement, researchers at Wageningen UR in the Netherlands will study the effectiveness of using EXZACT in tetraploid potato, a commonly grown crop that represents a major food and fiber source for millions of people worldwide.
