Syngenta and Dow Ink Cotton Licensing Pact
January 8, 2010| |
Syngenta and Dow AgroSciences announced that Syngenta has granted Dow licenses to a number of VipCot cotton varieties, as well as access to its COT102 cotton transgenic event. Under the agreement, Dow will receive a global license to develop and commercialize stacked combinations of COT102 transgenic event with the company's traits. COT102 events express the Vip3A insecticidal protein for protection against lepidopteran pests.
Dow AgroSciences will also receive a license to a number of VipCot cotton varieties, stacked with glyphosate tolerance, for sale in the United States. These varieties, which offer protection against key cotton pests such as cotton bollworm (Helioverpa zea), tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) and armyworms (Spodoptera), are expected to be launched in 2012.
