Mendel Biotechnology, Inc

Mendel Biotechnology was founded in early 1997 to develop the idea that controlling gene expression would create new opportunities to improve plant growth and development. We have focused on a large class of genes called transcription factors because they control the degree to which each gene in a cell is activated. The approximately 27,000 genes in the Arabidopsis genome are controlled by approximately 1,800 different transcription factors. By systematically analyzing the function of all Arabidopsis transcription factors, Mendel scientists have discovered that single transcription factors can control complex traits such as the ability of plants to withstand freezing or drought, yield, morphology, disease resistance, nitrogen use efficiency and many other complex traits. We believe that no other company or academic institution in the world has a comparable understanding of the function of transcription factors and that Mendel is the leading company in the world in this area. Knowledge of the function of plant transcription factors has enabled many novel inventions by Mendel scientists. The company has filed a large number of patents describing these inventions. We believe that the inventions described in our patent filings have placed the company in a strong position to participate in future developments in plant biotechnology, plant breeding, horticulture, and forestry. We are also using knowledge of plant gene expression to discover new ways of using chemicals to control plant growth and development.
