Pesticidal protein and molecule discovery: Corteva AgriscienceRecent Research Landscape

Insect and nematode damage significantly reduces crop yields, requiring the integration of specific genetic loci and pesticidal proteins to ensure plant stability.

What technical problems is Corteva Agriscience addressing in Pesticidal protein and molecule discovery?

Small molecule pesticide toxicity

(45)evidences

Crop yields are significantly reduced by the destructive feeding and development of nematodes, insects, and mollusks.

Transgenic protein pest resistance

(33)evidences

Existing chemical and biological insecticides fail to control evolving Lepidopteran and Coleopteran populations that have developed physiological resistance to standard toxins.
