In a press release, Dow said that the collaboration would bring together Dow’s seeds and traits experience with W3’s 40 years of plant breeding experience.
“We are very pleased to be working with W3, an industry leader in wheat breeding, to launch a portfolio of new products in the near future,” said Jerome Peribere, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences, in the release. “This collaboration will build upon our current seed portfolio by expanding into wheat.”
