Company Name

Grand Green Co., Ltd.

Job Type

Researcher in Plant Science and Crop Breeding

Work Detail

You will be primarily responsible for research and development using genome editing to create new varieties. Depending on your abilities, you will be able to take the lead in conducting research from design to implementation. Depending on your experience, you will also be responsible for mentoring other team members. Our company's main technologies are listed below. [Genome Editing Technology] A proprietary platform applicable to a variety of crops and varieties Genome editing is one solution for rapid variety development. GrandGreen develops new seeds and seedlings using our proprietary genome editing platform technology for crops. ★GrandGreen's Unique Core Technology ① Gene App™: A versatile delivery technology A unique, highly efficient delivery technology applicable to a variety of practical varieties of various plant species. The conventional Agrobacterium method utilizes foreign genes, which requires genetic modification and tissue culture, requiring a certain amount of time. gene App™ does not involve genetic modification and does not require tissue culture, allowing for highly efficient genome editing in a shorter period of time than conventional techniques. (Patent pending) ② Original genome editing kit "3GE (triple GE)™" Previous genome editing tools (enzymes) and enzyme expression vectors were not optimized for crops. 3GE™ provides highly efficient genome editing using genome editing tools and expression vectors uniquely modified for plant cells. (Patent pending) ③ Genomics Under the leadership of an experienced team of experts, primarily consisting of plant scientist PhDs and breeders, we utilize next-generation sequencing (NGS) to rapidly and accurately determine DNA base sequences, proprietary data analysis, and a network to identify target genes. ★ Patented "Promoter AI™" AI-based promoter region genome editing technology "Promoter AI™" AI-based promoter region genome editing technology modulates gene expression levels without altering gene function by editing the promoter region, which determines gene expression intensity, based on AI predictions. This enables groundbreaking trait conferring through genome editing for function enhancement, in addition to conventional loss-of-function conferring. This is expected to revolutionize plant breeding. ★Opening an industry-academia collaborative research chair (commonly known as the Future Crops Lab) at Nagoya University in October 2024. We are actively conducting collaborative research with academic researchers and will continue to promote the development of new crops and technologies through industry-academia collaboration.
