Combining synthetically engineered traits for crop improvement.

The synthetic redesign of plant metabolism enables the rapid and predictable engineering of new traits in crops. Bringing these traits in a flexible chassis such as Camelina will in future enable the development of new sustainable crops for agriculture.
