    "excerpt": "JOHNSTON, Iowa and GHENT, Belgium , Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vylor, the advanced seed and genetics company that will spin off from Corteva on October 1, 2026, and Rainbow Crops , a Belgium-based spin off from VIB, have announced a collaboration to advance new corn traits using artificial intelligence (AI) and multiplex gene editing, which enables scientists to edit multiple genes in a cell simultaneously. Through the collaboration, both companies will use Rainbow Crops' AI-supported Trait Foundry ™ technology to accelerate the development of corn hybrids that are more resilient to extreme weather, such as heat, drought, and floods. Rainbow Crops' platform will support Vylor's industry-leading expertise in gene editing. The companies expect the collaboration to deliver complex agronomic traits that use inputs more efficiently and, ultimately, increase yield to support farmer profitability. \"Rainbow Crops' AI-enabled multiplex gene editing capabilities will allow us to make hundreds of gene edits simultaneously, while validating performance in state-of-the-art phenotyping facilities as well as through field trials,\" said Mat Muller, who will lead Vylor Edge , Vylor's investment platform. \" Genome editing is set to reimagine agriculture by creating plants that can withstand critical challenges, including disease and extreme weather. This partnership further cements Vylor's...",
