❗️mRNA for Crops: Terrana
Flagship Pioneering, creator of Moderna, has just unveiled Terrana Biosciences, providing $50mm to scale-up development of their flagship product, an RNA spray which enters the plant and alters gene expression.
“The difference with Terrana’s technology is it actually goes inside the plant. That really lets you think about solving problems differently.” [Remember this rhetoric before from Bourla and Moderna?]
Their PR example is fruit trees that need sufficiently cold winters to flower and fruit: "With Terrana’s product, we could go in during the summer, spray these plants to turn that requirement down, and we restore those orchards to productivity during warm winters," they say. "This gives us a little bit more of a buffer to work with them as we try to find more permanent solutions to climate change.”
But proof of concept crops already include tomatoes, corn, soy "and a pipeline of more products in specialty and row crops."
Naturally, no public safety trials have been conducted.
So, the same forces who sought to modify the human genome, have targeted also our food and plants, as they mumble something about "crop protection for global warming."
"no flesh would be saved..."
