Merci, Olivier Monod, pour la mise en avant. "Les découvertes s’enchaînent dans le domaine, et Jean-Philippe combier, lui, travaille sur les microprotéines issues de ces microARN. Contrairement à ce que l’on pensait initialement, ces petits ARN codent bien pour de petites protéines «appelées miPEPs ou micropeptides» et dont le «rôle principal est d’augmenter la quantité de microARN», développe le chercheur." https://lnkd.in/gykeexK6

Exciting news for the scientific community! Congratulations to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for being awarded this year’s The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking discovery of microRNA and its crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.   At Micropep, we’re proud to work at the intersection of microRNA and micropeptide technology, using it to develop innovative solutions and helping to shape the future of sustainable agriculture.   https://lnkd.in/gi94SQ4c     #NobelPrize #MicroRNA #agtech #sustainability #micropeptides

African soils are deteriorating rapidly in part due to over-fertilization, but Legume Technology thinks they have the solution. They are developing an interesting new product that restores soils by applying nitrogen-fixing bacteria and fungi to plants. It won the company a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation grant to support further development. The funds will go towards revising packaging to meet small farms' needs and develop products that can go on non-leguminous crops.   Check out this AgFunder article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGagknVV   #Farming #Legume #SoilHealth #AgTech

📽 Merci BFM Business et Laure Closier de m'avoir invité à parler de Micropep Technologies 🌱 en direct ce matin dans vos studios ! J'espère que le décalage horaire ne se voyait pas trop ! 😅😂 👉https://lnkd.in/eUPbMmR4

Recently, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency order to stop the use of weedkiller dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (aka DCPA or Dacthal), calling it “so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately.” This indicates that as the weedkiller market evolves, alternative products are essential. Such shifts are driving the rapid growth of biological crop protection solutions, though there remains a need for greater farmer education.   Read the AgFunder article to learn more:  https://lnkd.in/dEbp7Hij #WeedKiller #BiologicalCropProtection #Crops #Farming #Agtech

We are proud to announce the closing of our Series B funding round with an additional $11 million commitment from new investors Corteva Agriscience. through its Corteva Catalyst platform, Sparkfood SA This addition brings the total Series B round to $40 million, elevating Micropep’s overall funding to over $60 million. We’d like to thank all of our investors who support and believe in our mission of building more sustainable agriculture for future generations.

This article from Global Ag Tech Initiative has an important message for farmers who want to forego using captan or other multisite fungicides in favor of biological crop protection approaches. You’ll have the most success if you use modern farming practices and space your plants in such a way that it creates an airy environment not conducive to fungal infractions. To learn more about how to maximize the effects of your biological control products, read the article. #AgTech #BiologicalCrop Protection https://lnkd.in/evjgn4Mw

The Biologicals market is growing fast! A recent study covered in Morning Ag Clips revealed that farmers’ knowledge and use of biological crop protection products is up since the last benchmark study in 2022. In fact, row crop farmers report their use of innovative crop inputs increased by 8 percentage points over the last two years.
