About

Rosetta Green develops improved plant traits for the agriculture and biofuel industries using unique genes called microRNAs. The company identifies and uses these genes to control key processes in major crops such as corn, wheat, rice, soybean, cotton, canola, and algae. Combining computational biology, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, plant transformation, and high throughput trait screening, Rosetta Greenidentifes the most promising microRNAs that could potentially be used to improve key plant traits in major crops. Rosetta Green was acquired by Monsanto in 2013.
