The recent Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded for discoveries in microRNA resonates with ICL's innovative efforts in collaboration with PlantArcBio. We’re harnessing RNA technologies to enhance crop nutrition and to boost yields. Building on the insights from the 2006 Nobel Prize winners Fire and Mello, our partnership with PlantArcBio aims to support global food security through improved, innovative agricultural practices. We’re currently focusing on canola, soy, and rice. Let’s work together to revolutionize agriculture! #GlobalFoodSecurity #RNAtechnology #Agriculture

Not every day your field of work aligns with a Nobel Prize discovery! The 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine (Ambros and Ruvkun), awarded for advancements in microRNA, resonates with our innovative work at ICL Group, where, in partnership with PlantArcBio, we’re harnessing similar RNA technologies for crop nutrition. Inspired by the 2006 Nobel-winning discovery (Fire and Mello) on RNA interference, we’re developing bio-stimulants to boost crop yields and sustain global food security. Our efforts reflect a commitment to revolutionizing agriculture through science. As we develop this technology for canola, soy, and rice, we seek new partnerships to create solutions that will effectively facilitate the delivery of large organic molecules through plant cell membranes. We’re excited to commercialize these innovations, contributing to global food security. Want to join us?
