Plant Molecular Agriculture and Patent Analysis – Part 1

I have been a little behind in collecting information on food tech recently, but this time I would like to take a quick look at patent information on companies active in this field from the perspective of “plant molecular agriculture,” which I learned from a blog that I always refer to as a candidate for attention as an alternative protein.

First, here is an article that explains plant molecular agriculture and the companies that are active in it in a very simple way.

What is Plant Molecular Agriculture? (Japanese)

According to the above article’s explanation, plant molecular agriculture roughly translates to “making plants produce useful substances by using mechanisms within plants and biotechnologies such as genetic recombination technology.
As this article shows, the image of the plant as a “factory” to obtain targeted useful substances.

We have checked the patent information of the companies mentioned in the above article and were able to verify information on five of them, so we would like to split the information into two articles and briefly review the patent information of each company using Lens.org.

Please read the rest of the article from “note” article below (Japanese text only) (You can read it by purchasing the paid magazine).
