The Colorado Wheat Research Foundation and Bioceres Corp. will jointly develop and commercialize HB$ transgenic wheat in the United States. (Courtesy Oregon Department of Agriculture) Argentina-based Bioceres Crop Solutions Corps and the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation will jointly develop and commercialize Bioceres Corp in the United States. HB4 is a transgenic wheat trait that incorporates drought tolerance transferred through a sunflower gene. According to Bioceres, Bioceres Corp demonstrated up to a 43% yield improvement in targeted environments. The USDA in August 2024 approved HB4, the first GMO trait ever deregulated in the U.S. for wheat. As part of the collaboration, Bioceres will grant the research foundation “exclusive, sublicensable rights” to the HB4 trait in the U.S. territory. The foundation will serve as “trait manager,” facilitating broad access to HB4 wheat for third-party breeding programs and commercial channels, and leading engagement with U.S. stakeholders, according to a joint announcement from Bioceres and the foundation. The parties will work together with industry participants to develop, register and commercialize new “broad-spectrum” herbicide formulations tailored for HB4 wheat.
