Bayer and Scivax Sign Research Cooperation
October 30, 2009| |
Bayer CropScience announced that it has entered into a research cooperation with Japan-based biotech company Scivax Corporation to develop high-yielding plants that can tolerate abiotic stress conditions. The companies will focus first on cotton. Under the terms of the agreement, Bayer will sponsor and support Scivax's Research & Development (R&D) activities for the next three years. In turn, Scivax grants Bayer an option to obtain a worldwide, exclusive license to their patent portfolio for use in crops.
Scivax has been developing technologies for enhanced yield since 2005 under collaboration with Meijo University and Nagoya University.
