Tim Kelliher, head of Crop, Trait and Technology Discovery with Syngenta Seeds talks about how new genetic techologies are applied to seed selection during a recent tour at a Syngenta facility near Malta, Ill.

Genomic tools should mean faster seed solutions

Gene editing could help find replacements as older genetic modification technologies develop resistance

New genomic tools like genome sequencing and the ability to stack genes through CRISPR gene editing mean that there will soon be solutions for farmers against crop pests.
