The TraitMill™ comprises proprietary bioinformatics tools, high throughput gene engineering systems, efficient methods for plant transformation, and a unique set up for automated high resolution phenotypic evaluation of crop performance.

CropDesign has the ability and capacity to modulate the expression of hundreds of genes and evaluate their effect in planta through automated screening methods. TraitMill™ has been developed to work in real crops and is currently running in a high throughput mode for rice.

With the TraitMill™, CropDesign has the largest corporate program for high-throughput agronomic trait identification in cereals. Leads identified by CropDesign in the TraitMill™ are introduced into elite cereal germplasm to fast-track product development.
