Imagine teaching a plant how to make oils that can substitute for a variety
of petroleum products.
Less dependence on foreign oil and fewer
tankers.
Motor oils that have greatly reduced
emissions.
Not since crop plants were
first domesticated have we been on the verge of a more significant technological
advancement - the development of plants as miniature factories.
At Linnaeus Plant Sciences
we are engineering specialized plants to provide oils that can be used
to replace entire families of petroleum-based industrial feedstocks.
