Mendel Biotechnology, Inc. says it aims "to produce plants enhanced for food, feed, fiber, energy and aesthetic benefit without large increases in production acreage" and says it is

dedicated to being a premier biotechnology company serving large agricultural companies with new genetic and chemical solutions and to becoming the leading seed company serving the bioenergy industry.[1]

As at July 2010, Mendel had been granted over 20 biotechnology and GM patents, as listed on its website.[2] Its interests include developing "energy grasses" for biomass and biofuels.[3]

In its 2008 Annual Report it lists two lines of business that were central to its growth in that year:

  • a collaborative project with Monsanto on soybean yield, "the basis of which is a Mendel technology"[4]
  • the establishment of "the first-ever field trials of genetically diverse Miscanthus varieties for biomass production in the

United States"[5]

Mendel's 2009 Annual Report names 2009 as a "watershed year", demonstrated by two collaborative partnerships: one with Monsanto and the other with Bayer CropScience.[6]

Mendel's deal with Monsanto involved Monsanto's "initial deployment of our [Mendel's] platforms" for its "improved yield soybean".[7]

Mendel's deal with Bayer involved "developing chemical products which make crops more resistant to biotic and abiotic stress factors, which in turn will stabilize yields and improve crop productivity".[8]

Affiliations

As at June 2010, Mendel's "strategic partners" are:[9]

  • Monsanto. Mendel calls Monsanto its "most important customer and collaborator for our technology business".[10]
  • BP
  • Bayer CropScience
  • Selecta Klemm: a joint venture formed in 2006 — Ornamental Biosciences, Inc. — for the commercialization of ornamental crop varieties differentiated in the marketplace for improved growth and survival under a range of stresses.
  • SweTree Technologies: a collaboration for the development of improved varieties of plantation forest tree species.
  • ArborGen: a collaboration to improve stress tolerance in selected tree species.
