PolyGenomX has developed a natural process called polyploidy to induce gene duplication in plants, creating plants that are faster growing, higher yielding, more stress tolerant, and disease resistant without being genetically modified. Their technology applies to all plant species and can create plants that are salt tolerant, drought tolerant, and resistant to viruses and fungi. PolyGenomX seeks industry partners to commercialize their technology through joint ventures that will generate ongoing equity and royalty income.

2. 3 outcomes of applied :
1. Faster growing, higher yielding, tougher plants
– via natural gene duplication (polyploidy)
2. Stress tolerant plants
– tolerating salinity, toxicity, aridity & climate change
3. Disease resistant plants
– totally resisting virus, bacteria & fungi

3. 9 Key Facts
1. A natural process (products are not GMO)
2. Plants are fertile
3. Induced traits are heritable through generations
4. Applies to all species (including food)
5. Identifiable (unique genetic fingerprint)
6. Can be easily monetised
7. Income multiplies as plants propagate
8. Unique technology (no competitors)
9. Protected by leveraged Patent strategy

4. 1. Polygenomic Plants
• Naturally induced gene duplication (polyploidy)
• More CO2 efficient – +50%
• Faster growth – 30% shorter harvest cycle
• Higher yield earlier – 30%+ from same inputs
• More robust – utilise marginal land
• More water efficient – for a drier world
• Climate tough – for a hotter world
