Crop breeding platform – Neocrop Technologies

Crop breeding platform
in record time
Neotrait Engine®

Precision breeding for the development of new crop varieties in record time using genetic editing and cutting-edge technologies.

Portfolio of new varieties under development

High fiber wheat

We work on the development of healthier Chilean and Argentine crop lines, with 5 to 10 times more fiber than traditional wheat. In alliance with Campex Baer and Buck Semillas.

Drought-resistant wheat

Project that seeks to generate Chilean and Argentine wheat lines that better resist conditions of water scarcity. In alliance with Campex Baer and Buck Semillas.

Anthracnose-resistant white lupin

We are developing pioneering Chilean lines that resist the main limiting factor of this species globally. In alliance with Campex Baer.

Premium oats high in beta-glucan

Project that aims to increase the beta-glucan content. In alliance with Campex Baer.

Development of new crop varieties

Our platform integrates modern technologies obtained from nature itself, such as gene editing through CRISPR/Cas9 (non-GMO), which allows inducing an advantageous characteristic in a crop without adding foreign DNA. This tool is assisted with our proprietary candidate gene prediction software, applying data science and artificial intelligence that helps us understand the complexity of interactions between genes. In addition, this is combined with an accelerated growth system called speed-breeding, which consists of automated growth chambers using IoT where we harvest several generations of a crop within the same year.
