Dow AgroSciences, Arcadia Biosciences and Bioceres collaborate to develop and commercialize soybean traitsDow AgroSciences, Arcadia Biosciences y Bioceres colaboran para desarrollar y comercializar eventos de sojaDow AgroSciences, Arcadia Biosciences and Bioceres collaborate to develop and commercialize soybean traitsDow AgroSciences, Arcadia Biosciences y Bioceres colaboran para desarrollar y comercializar eventos de soja" title="Share this link on Facebook">Indianapolis, Indiana and Davis, California, USA and Rosario, ArgentinaApril 28, 2015Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW), Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. and Bioceres, S.A. announced today an agreement to develop and commercialize innovative traits in soybeans. The collaboration leverages Dow AgroSciences’ technology, regulatory expertise, and commercial seed capabilities with a leading soybean abiotic stress platform and unique grower relationships in South America represented by Verdeca LLC, a joint venture between Arcadia and Bioceres.Under the collaboration, the companies will develop new soybean traits using Dow AgroSciences’ EXZACT™ Precision Technology platform to generate soybean trait stacks. These stacks will combine Verdeca’s agronomic performance and product quality traits with Dow AgroSciences’ herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant traits. The EXZACT Precision Technology platform will facilitate the development of multiple trait stacks with greater degrees of precision and speed-to-market. This collaboration is expected to result in products that provide soybean growers around the world with unique and powerful options to achieve greater yields and improved on-farm economics. Dow AgroSciences has developed the EXZACT Precision Technology platform under an exclusive license and collaboration agreement in plants with Sangamo BioSciences, Inc.This advancement comes at a time when soybeans are grown on more than 110 million hectares globally, and are the world’s fourth-largest crop. Growth in global population, combined with more people joining the middle-class in countries such as China and India, creates an ever-increasing demand for dietary protein from soybeans.“Soybean farmers are looking for productivity, and this collaboration holds great promise for the technology we can offer them,” said Tim Hassinger, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences. “Our own expertise, combined with Arcadia’s leadership position in abiotic stress traits and Bioceres’ strong relationship with large soybean growers, presents a unique opportunity for greater yields.”“As more traits become available to be integrated into superior seed products, seed companies and trait collaborators face the challenge of deploying these solutions in a time-effective and cost-efficient manner. This collaboration will help us meet this challenge by deploying validated agronomic and crop protection technologies through the EXZACT platform, precisely stacking traits which could speed-up technology integration,” said Federico Trucco, CEO of Bioceres.“Dow AgroSciences is one of the most respected names in our industry, with a traits pipeline that is second to none,” said Eric Rey, president and CEO of Arcadia Biosciences. “The open-architecture of the Dow AgroSciences/Arcadia/Bioceres collaboration is the first of its kind, and represents the future of efficiently packaging and delivering a complete suite of high value traits to growers.”Financial details of the collaboration were not disclosed.About Dow AgroSciencesDow AgroSciences discovers, develops, and brings to market crop protection and plant biotechnology solutions for the growing world.

Esta colaboración potenciará la tecnología, experiencia en asuntos regulatorios y los canales comerciales de Dow AgroSciences con la plataforma de tolerancia a estrés abiótico y la exclusiva relación con productores en Sudamérica de Verdeca LLC, un joint venture entre Arcadia y Bioceres.Bajo esta alianza, las compañías desarrollarán nuevos eventos de soja, usando la plataforma tecnológica denominada EXZACT™ de Dow AgroSciences, para generar eventos acumulados de soja. Estos eventos acumulados combinarán las tecnologías relacionadas al incremento de los rendimientos y calidad de los granos de Verdeca junto a las tecnologías de tolerancia a herbicidas y resistencia a insectos de Dow AgroSciences. La plataforma EXZACT™ facilitará el desarrollo de múltiples eventos acumulados con alto grado de precisión y de rápida salida al mercado. Se espera que de esta alianza surjan productos exclusivos que incrementen los rendimientos y consecuentemente mejoren las economías de los productores agropecuarios a nivel global. Dow AgroSciences desarrolló la plataforma EXZACT™, bajo licencia exclusiva y un acuerdo de colaboración en plantas con Sangamo BioSciences, Inc.Este avance llega en el momento en que el cultivo de soja se produce en más de 110 millones de hectáreas a nivel global, y es el cuarto cultivo más importante del mundo. El crecimiento dela población mundial, combinado con la expansión de la clase media en países como China e India, genera una demanda en continuo crecimiento de proteína derivada de soja.“Los productores de soja buscan productividad y esta alianza constituye una verdadera promesa para la tecnología que podremos ofrecerles” dijo Tim Hassinger, presidente y CEO de Dow AgroSciences. “Nuestro propio expertise, combinado con el liderazgo de Arcadia en tecnologías de estrés abiótico, las exclusivas tecnologías y las fuertes relaciones de Bioceres con grandes productores de soja, presentan una oportunidad única para alcanzar mayores rendimientos”.“La creciente disponibilidad de eventos que deben ser incorporados a nuevas variedades genera un desafío para las empresas de semilla que necesitan desarrollarlas de manera eficiente tanto en términos de costo como de tiempo. Esta alianza nos ayudará a alcanzar este desafío, desarrollando tecnologías que incrementen los rendimientos junto a tecnologías de protección de cultivos a través de la plataforma EXZACT, acumulando eventos de manera precisa y acelerando la integración de la tecnología”, dijo Federico Trucco, CEO de Bioceres.“Dow AgroSciences es una de las compañías más respetadas de la nuestra industria, con un pipeline de eventos inigualable”, dijo Eric Rey, presidente y CEO de Arcadia Biosciences. “La estructura abierta de la alianza Dow AgroSciences/Arcadia/Bioceres, es la primera en su tipo y representa el futuro de la integración de tecnologías para proveer semillas de alto valor para los productores”.Los detalles financieros de esta alianza, no trascendieron.More news from:.
