Vitacrop Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is an agricultural biotechnology startup focused on developing next-generation, climate-resilient crop varieties using advanced DNA-free CRISPR gene-editing technology. The company employs Site-Directed Nuclease-1 (SDN1) gene editing through RNP mediated transfection and plant tissue culture to develop improved crop varieties with enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses and higher yield potential, while ensuring the resulting plants remain non-GM.
At AIC, UASB, Vitacrop is incubated for Plant tissue culture optimization and DNA-free gene editing in tomato, rice, and cotton. The startup aims to establish efficient protoplast regeneration and gene-editing protocols to develop high-yielding, climate-resilient crop varieties with improved stress tolerance and nutrient quality.
