How is PPI Different?
There are many ways that PPI stands out, but two key factors are: we have a robust and proven portfolio of plant-based traits and because we field test our crops, we have the ability to develop commercially valuable crop traits and bring them to market quickly. Another significant difference in our view is the fact that our Efficient Conversion Technology™ (ECT™) is the world’s first known feedstock improvement technology for reducing cellulosic ethanol or butanol production costs by up to 25%. Performance Plants has based its discovery program on the fact that small changes in plant metabolism can have profound positive impacts on crop productivity and quality. This concept has allowed plant breeders over the millennia to turn weeds like teosinte into useful crops like corn. The successful application of biotechnology and modern breeding methods can rapidly enhance these desirable traits to make next generation crops with improved yields and quality. With our technology, we have produ
