June 11, 2025| |
Agricultural technology company Cibus Inc. has announced that its most recent trait for its herbicide tolerance trait (HT2) in canola has been designated as not regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) Biotechnology Regulatory Services (BRS).
The HT2 trait was developed using Cibus' Rapid Trait Development System™ (RTDS®). The HT2 trait in canola aims to offer a better and novel solution to address weeds resistant to widely-used herbicides.
Dr. Peter Beetham, Co-Founder and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Cibus, stated, “HT2 represents an advanced multi-crop herbicide tolerance trait within Cibus' pipeline of productivity and agronomic traits aimed at providing growers newer and more advanced tools to improve weed management.”
