Dr. Gene HOOKSTRA - ParaGen - USA

What does your company do for the major players?
All major players in the seed industry have laboratories and scientists dedicated to the application of biotechnology. They have defined goals, time frames, capacity and are generally committed to a specific technology.

What ParaGen/Paradigm can offer is access to different technologies, the ability to research and apply specific technologies to new goals/targets or to assist and expand research in a given area.

Our goal is not to compete with the major players in the seed industry but to assist them where and when we can. We have built a powerful discovery system that helps identify gene function in plants that is available broadly to the seed industry. By coupling discovery with the downstream molecular breeding approaches, ParaGen provides the an integrated set of solutions from discovery to commercialization for new traits and new variety development.
