🌱 Computomics raises EUR 6.3 million to scale climate-smart plant breeding
We're excited to announce a Series B financing round led by Convent Capital Agri Food Fund, with continued backing from High-Tech Gründerfonds, MBG Baden-Württemberg, and Amathaon Capital.
As extreme heat and drought reshape harvests across Europe, breeders need faster answers than trial data alone can give. Our ×SeedScore® platform uses machine learning to predict how genotypes will perform under real-world climate stress. This helps breeders identify resilient, stable varieties years earlier.
This investment will accelerate commercial delivery of our climate-smart breeding platform to more breeding programs worldwide.
Read more: https://www.computomics.com/news-reader/eur-6.3-million-raised.html
Thank you to our investors and team for backing this next chapter! 🚀
This operation benefits from support from the European Union under the InvestEU Fund.

The theme of the UC Davis Plant Breeding Retreat (an event that was made inaccessible to me many of the years I was there, incidentally) is Intellectual Property.
While being able to protect one's work (until the plant patent runs out) is important in the kind of world we're living in at the moment, the fact that this is the theme of a gathering of students, faculty and guests in plant breeding rather than any number of urgent topics right now disturbs me. #PlantBreeding #UCAccessNow

1/🧵I'm a bit over the endless review articles and their fancy diagrams telling us that combining #genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, environmental data and AI will revolutionise plant breeding.
No shit Sherlock.
Of course integrating all those data streams would generate valuable insights. That was never the challenging part. The real limitation is economics 💸 Many breeding programs already struggle to justify the cost of genomics alone.

Introducing Gibasis 'Europa'! The second of my four new Gibasis cultivars this year.
'Europa' has unusually-coloured leaves, which range from dark olive green to burgundy. In bright light they develop streaks of purple along the centre and edges of the leaves. The last picture shows the colour of a typical stem of Europa (centre) compared to 'Tahitian Bridal Veil' (left) and 'Purple Bridal Veil' (right).
'Europa', along with 'Io' and the other two coming up, will be available to buy for UK delivery soon!

New cultivar registration: Gibasis 'Io'!
I bred this myself last year. Its parents are G. pellucida 'Purple Bridal Veil', and G. 'Jose Puig'. I actually got a whole lot of seedlings from this pairing, with a huge amount of interesting variations. I'm registering four of them altogether, so keep an eye out for the other announcements soon! I'll also be selling all of them (for UK delivery only) this summer.
'Io' has medium green leaves which are quite similar to the common 'Tahitian Bridal Veil' at a glance. Except the edges of the leaves are distinctly wavy or crinkly, and the surfaces are less glossy. The last picture shows a comparison, with 'Io' on the left.

The first scientifically created (not an accidental) hybrid was made of two Dianthus species - a Sweet William and a carnation.
It was called "Fairchild's Mule".
