Cibus transfers gene-edited herbicide-tolerant rice traits to Interoc for Latin America launch

Cibus has transferred gene-edited herbicide tolerance traits in rice seeds to its partner Interoc, enabling testing and production ahead of commercial release in Latin America. This milestone supports Cibus' strategy to accelerate trait innovation and address global food security by licensing advanced plant traits. Interoc will develop and market these enhanced seeds to improve rice productivity, a key crop in the region. Additional gene-edited traits are expected to be delivered to partners as regulatory frameworks evolve and commercialization progresses.
