Cibus, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBUS) has published a paper in the International Journal of Plant Biology detailing their advancements in gene editing for Brassica napus (canola). The company's Trait Machine™ System has significantly reduced the time required to develop new traits in plants, from up to 16 years to 3-5 years. This has been achieved through partnerships, including one with Bayer. The RTDS-based high throughput breeding system produces traits indistinguishable from those developed through conventional breeding, and under the European Commission's proposal, these traits may be considered 'conventional-like'.
