Developing high yield herb varieties with gene editing

“人们普遍认为，到2050年，我们需要生产的粮食比目前消费的粮食多70%，这需要比以往任何时候都更可持续地实现。要做到这一点，我们需要彻底改变我们目前生产粮食的方式。新鲜草药是重要的蔬菜，在改善食物风味的同时，还能为我们的日常饮食提供必需的维生素、油脂和其他营养素。在植物形态实验室，我们使用革命性的生物工具，通过改进商业品种的遗传，并将新的植物育种技术引入农业和园艺，来增加草药产量。植物形态实验室的产品将生产得更快，更大，对环境的影响更小，并且将是非转基因的。育种方面的改进意味着消费者将能够以更实惠的价格获得更健康、更大的草药。

"It is widely recognised that by 2050 we will need to produce 70% more food than is consumed today and this needs to be achieved more sustainably than ever. To do this we need to drastically change the way we currently produce food. Fresh herbs are important vegetables and provide essential vitamins, oils and other nutrients as part of our daily diet whilst improving the flavour of what we eat.At Phytoform Labs, we use revolutionary biological tools to increase herb production by improving the genetics of commercial varieties and introducing new plant breeding techniques to agriculture and horticulture.Phytoform Labs products will be produced faster, made bigger, have less of an impact on the environment and will be non-GM. The improvements in breeding mean consumers will have access to healthier and bigger herbs at a more affordable price."
