As part of the technological development of the NPOP project, on July 13, 2022, the IAC sugarcane team delivered to Granbio a total of 290 transgenic sugarcane plants, variety ‘IACSP95-5094’, containing proprietary technology capable of providing improved tolerance to drought stress and also, greater productivity. The partner company’s team will conduct field trials to validate the technology in different environments. Once its potential is proven, the sugarcane sector will soon be able to benefit from highly productive genotypes with a biotech background, capable of promoting the sustainable cultivation of sugarcane.
