The challenge Solution Products Impact Team

At ThermoReLeaf we address the problem of crop yield losses due to heat
exposure, a global threat to food security that has worsened in recent years due
to climate change.
The Challenge

It is estimated that each degree-Celsius increase in global mean temperature
reduces global yields of wheat by 6.0%, rice by 3.2%, maize by 7.4%, and soybean
by 3.1%.

This represents a total global average loss of $42.4 billion per year.

Our Solution


WE OFFER A PLATFORM THAT COMBINES SMALL MOLECULE DISCOVERY AND GENE EDITING TO
PROTECT CROPS FROM HEAT STRESS.



These technologies are specifically designed to prevent the cell death events
that take place in response to heat, avoiding the damage that occurs in plants
exposed to high temperatures.

Our Products
Seeds of edited plants
Heat resilient plants obtained through DNA edition can cope with heat stress all
along their life cycle.
AgBiological formulation
Specific formulation that allows plants to cope with extreme temperatures,
either by seed application or by foliar spray.
Current technologies are not specifically developed to cope with severe heat
We are able to precisely disrupt the cell death mechanism triggered in response
to heat without affecting plant growth or development
Both technologies are applicable across species and in elite varieties, allowing
the continuity of use of seeds with high productivity
Impact
By providing heat-resistant crops, ThermoReLeaf is committed to restore crop
profitability and to reduce the social impact of climate change.
Through technological innovation, ThermoReLeaf promotes economic growth, higher
levels of productivity and sustainable agricultural practices.
