Higher yield for any crop

Precision Genetic Technologies for Improving Crop Yield

What We Do

HapiSeeds is a pioneering biotechnology company specializing in the regulation of plant stress responses.

Utilising our advanced knowledge of specific gene networks in terrestrial plants, we enhance growth, increase productivity, and improve resilience to environmental challenges.

Our innovations allow us to enhance plant growth, increase biomass, boost grain production, and improve resilience to environmental stresses, all without introducing new proteins into the plant cells. By harnessing the power of key genes responsible for plant development, we are driving unprecedented advancements in agricultural productivity and sustainability.

What We Stand For

Innovators, Scientists.

Our work seeks to develop biotechnological tools that lead to an increase in plant biomass and productivity, as well as better adaptation to environmental changes.

We aim to provide farmers with the resources to sustainably meet global agricultural demand.

Our Technology Platform

Tech I

HapiSeeds’ Tech I intellectual property is based on the discovery of a key gene responsible for controlling plant cell division, thus regulating development of all terrestrial plants.

By modulating this gene with a simple transgenic or non-transgenic edition, it is possible to increase plant’s growth rate, biomass, grain production, resilience to abiotic stress and carbon sequestration, in an unprecedented manner.

Tech II

HapiSeeds TECH II offers a service to assist plant breeders in creating new elite varieties, through the use of RNA biomarkers, precisely accelerating the plant breeding process. The tests can select new elite varieties that are healthier, more productive and tolerant to environmental variations. In parallel, it allows farmers to identify the varieties most suitable for their growing conditions and identify the best bioinoculants for each variety.

Differentiating elements of the technology

Real increase in productivity per plant.

Plants grow healthier, faster, larger and better adapted to the environment.

Faster Growth

Increased biomass in fruit and seed production

Less use of nitrogen fertilizers

Tolerance to abiotic stress

GREATER PRODUCTIVTY

Real increase in productivity per plant.

Technology

Innovative Genetic Solutions for Plant Growth

HapiSeeds’ platform leverages advanced knowledge and control over specific genes related to plant metabolism and growth. The platform consists of a master technology of gene bioprospection using our own robust database. It provides novel genes for direct genome edition, or to be used as RNA biomarkers. Our integrated technologies act precisely, accelerating genetic improvement and providing a real increase in plant productivity.

They can be applied to a wide range of plant species across various ecosystems, promoting a low-carbon and water-efficient economy. Additionally, they can enhance elite varieties developed by AgTech companies.

Additional Genes and Benefits

Broadening the Horizon of Genetic Enhancements

HapiSeeds is currently testing additional genes, yielding promising results. These developments include new products with enhanced CO2 capture, improved interaction with bioinoculants and microorganisms, increased nitrogen fixation, reduced dependence on fertilizers, and greater resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought and heat. Additionally, these products show greater resilience to biotic stresses, including viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
