Cibus, Inc. announced that controlled environment testing of its third mode of action (MOA) for its Sclerotinia resistance trait in Canola demonstrated enhanced resistance. This represents another milestone in developing a durable white mold resistance trait.
The company has completed edits in each of four MOAs for its Sclerotinia resistance trait in Canola and has ongoing field tests for two of them. Management expects to complete field and/or greenhouse tests on all four MOAs by year-end 2025.
Greg Gocal, Chief Scientific Officer, stated that these results are exciting and demonstrate efforts to improve Sclerotinia resistance, a widespread disease. Peter Beetham, Interim CEO, added that these new traits for canola are expected to help farmers preserve yields, lower application costs, and reduce fungicide use.
