About MataGene
Based in Ness Ziona, Israel, and founded in 2021, MataGene Ltd. develops technologies that enable plants such as crops and trees to store more carbon and energy to produce higher yields in the forms of biomass or states of fruits such as seeds and tubers. In December 2021, MetaGene Ltd. MataGene utilizes genetic technologies to enhance plants' photosynthesis to increase crop yield and carbon sequestration. The company uses a novel gene found in angiosperm plants that functions like a ‘switch’ to control the photosynthetic energy storage process. The technology was successfully tested on three crops, potato (food crop), canola (oilseed and biofuel crop), and sorghum (gluten-free food, drought-tolerant, and biofuel crop) in controlled greenhouses and infield for potato.
