KingAgroot, established in 2009 and Headquartered in Qingdao, China, is a biotechnology company that is committed to improve the efficiency and quality of global agricultural production through novel herbicidal compound research and development and crop biotechnology breeding, to contribute to world food security. KingAgroot offers comprehensive solutions to agricultural production problems of worldwide crops such as rice, wheat, corn, soybean, peanut, orchard, vegetable, etc. through providing novel herbicidal mechanism compounds and high-quality crops with traits of herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, disease resistance, high yield or quality, etc. In addition, Knock up gene by Structure Editing (KSE) technology developed by KingAgroot has a great potential in animal and plant breeding via enhancing critical gene expression that may create new economically important traits, the application value of which is comparable with gene knock-down and base editing. This is a significant breakthrough in the area. KingAgroot Group has been using the KSE not only in crops but also in animals such as marine organisms (fish) etc. to generate valuable traits via knock-up key gene expression without using a donor DNA (KSE Patent No.: 2020111902796, 2021104868403. The paper was published in Nature Plants doi: 10.1038/s41477-021-01019-4) KingAgroot in Chinese means “Qingyuan”, from the Chinese idiom 正本清源 (Zhengben Qingyuan), signifies to solve problems fundamentally. This is an origin of our company culture. Mission: To build a world without famine by exploring life-science. Vision: To be an engine of global agricultural biotechnology innovation.
