Gro Alliance

One of our four pillars is supporting innovation in the seed industry. Revolutionizing the seed breeding and development cycle by programming plants with UV light certainly qualifies! Check the big news from Gro Alliance and BioLumic!

BioLumic has launched its first commercial Trait Activation System at Gro Alliance’s seed production facility in Cuba City, WI. As the first commercial partner of BioLumic, Gro Alliance will execute the trait activation process. Breeder Direct is commercializing xTraits for several inbred lines in its expanding portfolio, with commercial hybrid traits anticipated to become available later this year. "We see this as a leap forward in seed innovation,” says Marc Neuman, Director of Sales and Product Development at Breeder Direct: https://shorturl.at/nV0x3
