Up to 14% of Rain-fed Cropland WW has Suffered From Drought in 2022

AFBF - American Farm Bureau Federation, 2023 McKinsey, 2022 drought.gov

Global Corn Market

Global corn seed market US\$25 billion in 2021 45% of corn grow in the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina 90% of it is genetically modified

Corn is expected to become the most widely grown crop WW in the coming decade

201 million hectares

Estimated growing area

1 billion tons

Estimated production per year

US Corn Production

The estimated MY 2022-23 US corn production is the lowest in three years

Corn is particularly sensitive to drought

Existing drought resistant solutions suffers yield drag in normal conditions

Novel Approach for Drought Resistance is Required

We Made it Possible!

60% to 250% increase in total seed weight of genetically modified corn in drought conditions

Gene Discovery for Improving Drought Resistance in Agricultural Crops

Life in the Desert is Adapted to Drought Conditions

We went to the Dead Sea area to collect genetic samples…

Yield Increase in Corn

Proline Content

Increase in proline content compared to well irrigated plants

Relative Water Content

Reduction of water content compared to well irrigated plants

Exceptional Results –Seed Yield

Seed yield data of events tested under water stress

Yield Increase in Corn –Wishes come true

60-250%

Increase in the total seed weight of corn plants, containing best PAB drought resistance gene!

20%increase in corn yield in the US may increase production by 70 million tones

Corn is Just the Beginning…

Let's Plant the Seeds of Change Together!
