Our Technology
Transforming Agriculture Through Precision Gene Editing
The agricultural challenges of our time—climate volatility, disease pressure, limited resources, and rising global food demand—require more than incremental change. At MaxEditas, we believe in breakthrough solutions. That’s why we’ve built CropEditas™, a proprietary CRISPR platform designed to unlock the full potential of plant genetics.


Gene-edited crops: drought-tolerant tomato and peanut expressing an albino reporter gene.
What is CRISPR, and Why Does It Matter?
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that enables scientists to make precise, targeted changes to the DNA of living organisms—including plants.
Unmatched Precision: Edit only the exact gene responsible for a trait—no random mutations or transgenes.
Faster Development Cycles: Achieve in short periods of time what used to take a decade of breeding.
Non-GMO Classification in Many Markets: In many geographies jurisdictions, CRISPR-edited crops are not classified as GMOs, facilitating regulatory approvals.
Rapid Crop Adaptability to Global Climate Challenges: Edit crops to thrive in drought, resist disease, and improve yields sustainably.
Introducing CropEditas™
CropEditas™ is MaxEditas’ proprietary CRISPR platform. Developed in-house by our multidisciplinary team of scientists and technologists, it is designed for scalable, high-impact plant editing—from lab to field.
What makes CropEditas™ different?
Unlike off-the-shelf systems, CropEditas™ is a fully customized gene-editing pipeline—integrating in silico design, lab-based transformation, and rapid regeneration protocols.
We hold a global, commercial license for CRISPR use across all crops, with a dedicated focus on specialty crops
CropEditas™ is protected under an active PCT patent filing, ensuring our innovations are secured worldwide.
Our platform is modular and collaboration-oriented, enabling joint ventures, co-development projects, and integration with research, and commercial partners globally.
Real-World Applications
CropEditas™ is already powering advanced gene-editing crops such as:
CRISPR-Optimized Peanuts
Resilient Alfalfa
Other Specialty Crops
Technology With Purpose
At MaxEditas, we don’t edit plants for novelty—we do it to solve real agricultural problems. Our mission is to create real-world impact through precision gene editing that empowers farmers, improves food security and quality, and contributes to a more sustainable planet.

Advanced Genome Editing
Accelerating Trait Innovation in Complex Crops through Next-Generation Plant Engineering
At MaxEditas, we are developing cutting-edge genome editing protocols specifically designed for dicotyledonous and specialty crops, overcoming long-standing biological and technical bottlenecks in plant transformation and regeneration. Our goal is to deliver fast, reproducible, and high-efficiency CRISPR-based edits in crops traditionally considered recalcitrant to genetic manipulation.
A Next-Generation Regeneration System
Our proprietary platform leverages a multi-step regeneration system that incorporates:
Optimized explant selection
Direct organogenesis protocols
Reduced transformation cycle times
Novel selection systems
This process enables significant reductions in total editing timelines compared to classical callus-based protocols, and enhances consistency across a wide range of dicot crops.
Precision Editing via Agrobacterium-Mediated Delivery
We employ a robust and adaptable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for the stable delivery of CRISPR-based genome editing tools.
Rapid, Scalable & Broadly Applicable
The editing workflows developed under our platform demonstrate:
– Transformation efficiencies between 3% and 23% depending on genotype and crop.
– Cross-species adaptability for a range of commercial and emerging crops.
Advanced Tissue Culture Engineering
Our team has standardized modular plant tissue culture media.
These refinements support high-throughput regeneration of gene-edited plants in crops, allowing consistent trait delivery across taxa.
A Platform for Real-World Genetic Innovation
Our proprietary protocols support the efficient recovery of gene-edited plants with desirable agronomic, nutritional, and metabolic traits. By unifying transformation, regeneration, and CRISPR-editing into a streamlined pipeline, we are enabling:
– Rapid trait deployment in breeding pipelines.
– Functional genomics exploration in underexplored crop species.
– Collaborative research and development with global partners.
