Genective, the joint venture between Limagrain and KWS, has entered into a strategic partnership with AgBiome to accelerate the commercialisation of coleopteran and lepidopteran resistant transgenic traits with unique modes of action. The partnership will utilise AgBiome’s trait discovery platform together with Genective’s access to key germplasm and breeding resources.
