Agtechnavigator‘I was thinking this is old stuff’... Going retro could be key to the future of food, says plant scientist Mark TesterProfessor Mark Tester and his company Iyris are commercializing plant genetics technology that combines wild tomato rootstocks with domesticated varieties to create crops resilient to heat, drought, and salinity. The approach, which involves doubling chromosomes to stabilize hybrid traits, has resulted in plants up to two and a half times larger than standard varieties and is now being applied to other crops like watermelons and peppers. This development aims to address global food security challenges by enabling agriculture in harsh, desert-like conditions.PublicnowSaudi agritech iyris secures $16 million Series A roundSaudi Arabia-based agritech company iyris closed a $16 million Series A funding round led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund, supported by various institutional investors.
