Speed and precision shouldn’t be a trade-off — with our HI-Edit™ process, they don’t have to be. Our proprietary and patented technology blends advanced gene editing with doubled haploid breeding, enabling us to introduce new genetic traits into elite corn hybrids in a single step. What traditionally takes 2.5 years of trait introgression can now be achieved through HI-Edit’s streamlined approach, dramatically accelerating innovations that address farmers’ most pressing challenges.
Developed by Syngenta’s expert team, HI-Edit leverages cutting-edge genome editing and large-scale testing infrastructure to confirm new traits. The technology uses CRISPR during the haploid formation stage to make precise genetic improvements without years of backcrossing — all while preserving the core performance of our elite germplasm.
Through this process, we enable our pipeline of next-generation traits to reach farmers faster and with greater precision than ever before, ensuring that progress is always on and farmers have the tools they need to succeed.
