Groundbreaking polyploid technology solving biofuel feedstock issues - BioFuelGenomics technology has emerged from biotechnology research and provides biofuel plants with the ability to constantly advance the normal growth rates by between 30% and 40% per annum. The technology enables the creation of adaptive polyploids or the spontaneous doubling of a biofuel plant’s genetic material. Polyploidisation is an event that occurs naturally in plants, but until now has not been able to be replicated in the laboratory for plant species. Polyploids result in - faster growing trees; - stronger trees; - higher yielding trees; - decrease resources used by polyploided plants; and - additional carbon absorption. The BioFuelGenomics adaptation process creates polyploids at will, however the groundbreaking part of this process is the ability to create adaptive polyploids, where entire gene clusters are rearranged in order to cope with specific environmental and physical conditions (genomic architecture).
