Innovative neutron beam-assisted mutation breeding for plants and microorganisms
November 27, 2025
A biotech company from Japan offers a novel technology for mutation breeding using neutron steels. This non-GMO method enables the rapid and efficient development of new strains of plants and microorganisms. Targeted gene mutation via neutron irradiation produces a wide range of variants much faster than conventional methods. The technology can be used worldwide and is particularly suitable for agriculture, biotechnology and the food industry.
Advantages
The advantages of the technology lie in the high mutation rate, genomic stability and broad applicability to different organisms. The breeding time is reduced many times over. The technology is protected by patents in Japan and the USA, a European patent application is pending.
Wanted partners
Partners are being sought throughout Europe for joint research and commercial cooperation. Research partners such as agricultural or biotechnology institutes are to be involved in new breeding approaches and evaluation systems. Commercial partners, including breeding companies and producers of fermented foods or bioenergy, can commission irradiation projects and jointly implement innovative breeding projects. Technical support and cooperation models are offered.
