Our Metabolic Regulators (MR) technology has the power to control entire biosynthetic pathways by limiting the availability of small signaling molecules. The traditional methods to modify biosynthetic pathways involve the inhibition or over-expression of rate-limiting genes. Oftentimes the result is non-optimal and creates an imbalance in pathway intermediates, which has a detrimental effect on the organism. The MR technology avoids this limitation and effectively controls metabolic pathways to maximize the production of desired compounds without compromising plant vigor or productivity.

The technology is extremely versatile, having the ability to target different pathways, including the uptake, assimilation, and distribution of nutrients or minerals to improve plant growth, development, and yield.

MR applied to oilseed crops increases seed oil production. The technology can be used to increase the accumulation of plant-based products such as sugars, oil, starch, cellulose, lignin, amino acids, and vitamins.
