PlantArcBio Ltd. (TASE:PLNT) is an ag-biotech company developing gene discovery and RNAi-based solutions to enhance crop traits and biologically control pests, with a vision to improve global food security and promote sustainable agriculture. With our patented DIP™ and DIPPER™ technologies, we discover and develop novel genes and gene-editing targets, as well as support gene editing processes, with game-changing effects on plants — including yield improvement, drought resistance, herbicide tolerance, and nutritional enhancement. Genes identified through the DIP™ platform enable seed companies to enhance a variety of crops with desired traits more effectively than ever before. For example, PlantArcBio partnered with seed company Rallis to develop drought-tolerant corn, demonstrating a 60%–250% yield increase under drought conditions. Our DIP™ and DIPPER™ platforms, along with the novel genes and RNAi targets we have discovered and developed, are protected by patents at various stages of registration. We have signed multiple partnerships with leading seed and crop protection companies to enhance crops with drought resistance, increased yield, herbicide tolerance, and insect resistance. We are seeking additional partners to introduce our novel genetic technologies and further improve crop performance. Our RNAi developments focus on external applications and integrated solutions for crop protection and yield enhancement. Our deep expertise and innovative RNAi technologies, combined with a unique methodology for identifying target gene sequences, make us a strong partner for co-developing next-generation RNAi pest control solutions. PlantArcBio's global strategic partners include ICL, Gadot-Agro, KWS, CTC (Brazil), TMG (Brazil), Bioceres (Argentina), Rallis (a subsidiary of TATA, India), Toolgen (Korea) and others.
