Climate change continues to impact global agriculture, pest and disease management, and the development of alternative foods and fuels. As the demand for sustainable solutions grows, so does the need for faster, more efficient breeding methods. In addition to plants, the breeding of microorganisms such as microalgae, yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and molds, as well as insects like crickets, is becoming increasingly important.
To meet these needs, Quantum Flowers & Foods (QFF) has launched the world’s first Neutron Breeding Service. By combining neutron beam technology with advanced tools such as genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9) and chemical mutagenesis (EMS), we accelerate the breeding process while expanding the range of achievable traits.
