Only RNA can, naturally
Terrana’s novel platform technology uses RNA to enable adaptive, targeted, and sustainable solutions in agriculture.
Translating nature’s language
[platform overview]
Plants naturally use a vast ecosystem of diverse, self-replicating RNAs to influence trait expression. These native RNAs are abundant, diverse, and already part of the plant’s own biology – functioning like a native language that helps them communicate traits like growth, stress response, and development.
Terrana™ harnesses the characteristics of these molecules and, using AI-powered generative design, fine-tunes them for amplification, mobility in plants, stability in different environments, and heritability across plant generations.
The result: Entirely new categories of targeted, stable, and efficient solutions for farmers that provide yield and protection benefits at any time in the plant lifecycle.
RNAs are nature’s information system
Capable of traversing through the seed or any target tissue, native RNAs replicate in the plant and transmit instructions to carry out various functions vital to plant health.
Engineerable plant solutions
Terrana sources native RNAs from across the plant world and gives them new instructions to make any desired trait and solve for problems at any point in the plant’s lifecycle.
Drawing from the vast world of diverse replicating RNA in plants and using generative AI tools, Terrana can unlock all aspects of seeds and traits, starting with crop protection.
Flexibility meets specificity
The modular building blocks of native RNAs provide tremendous design flexibility, creating products that can produce any number of traits, be used broadacre and on specialty crops, and be applied from seed to post harvest.
Delivered in seasons, not years
Terrana delivers repeatable and predictable trait designs that can be explored and executed much faster than conventional methods and at a fraction of the cost.
Broad toolbox, year after year
Heritable crop traits enabled by RNA can be passed down through generations of plants. This creates a broad set of new tools to produce desired improvements in yield, pest resistance, or other traits without the tradeoffs like timing in life cycle and environmental impact.
Precision, without genetic modification
Terrana unlocks solutions that surpass the limits of traditional chemistry and transgenes – all without modifying the plant genome.
