Plantell Overview
Plantell develops genetically encoded biosensors for early stress and disease detection in crops. Plantell aims to reduce chemical use and food waste by monitoring crop health in real time, increasing agricultural sustainability, and ensuring food security worldwide.
Plantell Climate Tech relevance
One agricultural challenge is that by the time plants appear to be diseased or stressed, it may be too late to address the problem and the plant is permanently damaged. Technologies for early detection of the cellular biochemical signals involved in sensing and processing of environmental information regarding abiotic and biotic stress are still lacking, mainly due to the destructive nature of common biochemical methods. Currently, CO2 emission in agriculture is estimated at 9.3bn tons. By monitoring crop health in real-time, Plantell can reduce chemical use - and the associated CO2 emissions - and food waste, increasing agricultural sustainability.
