Technology Description:

Verinomics and Metalplant are collaborating to domesticate and improve two foreign nickel hyperaccumulator species. The team will use gene editing and genomics technologies to prevent invasive behavior while enabling an increase in yield. The resulting plants will be candidates for phytomining nickel resources in the United States.
