the journey of the seed

the journey of the seed KeyGene We are constantly in search of methods for speeding up our breeding processes. Enza Zaden is one of the founding fathers of KeyGene, one of the largest biotechnological companies in the world in the field of plant genetics. KeyGene was established in 1989 by a group of Dutch breeding companies. The company, which is based in the Dutch town of Wageningen, carries out pre-competitive research to help the affiliated breeding companies to make their breeding programmes more effective and more efficient. Besides searching for new markers for marking more genes, KeyGene also develops software for making it easier to administratively manage analytical methods and breeding programmes. Westcape Biotech Pty. The establishment, in 2012, of Westcape Biotech Pty. in Stellenbosch, South Africa implied a great step forward in making our breeding process more efficient. Westcape is a joint venture with the innovative Expressive Research, a biotechnological company that is active in the fields of cell and tissue culture and molecular diagnostics. This cooperation has greatly increased our capacity for cell and tissue cultivation activities in particular. Thanks to Westcape we are able to offer our breeders worldwide even better support with products obtained in cell and tissue cultivation processes. 18 | Enza Zaden
