Plant Science, Polyploidy Technology & Microbiology
In Polypoldization, two sets of a tree species’ chromosomes are identified and bred to create duplicate sets of chromosomes. The mother stock are then micro-propagated through tissue culture multiplication techniques resulting in uniformed and identical trees that are non-invasive, disease resistant and acclimated to the region where cultivated.
In addition, Polypoldization also results in trees growing leaves as much as 50% larger than the standard variety of the same species, thereby enabling it to collect solar energy and CO2 more efficiently and thereby increasing its growth rate by as much as 40%.
It’s important to note that the process involves no genetic engineering – polyploidy is a naturally occurring evolutionary event. Significantly, this results in an enhanced photosynthetic process that enables the tress to consume greater amounts of carbon, creating a carbon “sink” as they grow faster and produce and release oxygen into the atmosphere more efficiently.
Through our exclusive license, BioPower has access to Clenergen’s strategic relationship with an Indian Biotechnology lab providing a production center for micro propagation of targeted energy crops. The laboratories are staffed with 100 biotechnologists and 80 nursery operators for plant hardening before planting in the field.
