Noble Foundation, BASF Plant Science collaborate

The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation and BASF Plant Science announced a research collaboration to enhance crop productivity. The collaboration's aim is to develop traits that help improve plants' health and yield by using a model plant, Medicago truncatula (commonly called barrel medic). Researchers at the Noble Foundation, which is a leader in Medicago genetics, will seek to develop traits for conveying yield stability and disease resistance in select crops whereas BASF Plant Science receives exclusive options on specific Noble Foundation research findings.
