Foundation and Stakeholders
Ornamental Bioscience was founded in 2006 as a joint venture between
Selecta Klemm, Germany one of the world's leading companies in the breeding, manufacture and distribution of vegetative ornamental plants and
Mendel Biotechnology, United States, the world leader in isolating the complex plant gene traits involved in drought, cold tolerance, pathogen resistance and other useful characteristics.
Bioscience at work
We are a biotechnology company specialising in product development and marketing of transgenic ornamental plants. Through our excellent understanding of the ornamental market we identify products and traits of relevance to develop plants with greatly improved characteristics for the consumer, distributor, retailer and grower. The staff and management of our research facilities in Stuttgart, Germany, have significant experience in genetic plant transformation. Worldwide we are working with a network of scientific consultants and institutes for research and testing.
Where we are aiming
Ornamental Bioscience has an exceptional opportunity to bring great value to the market. The expertise in genetic plant transformation, exclusive access to Mendel trait technology and access to Monsanto enabling technology assure Ornamental Bioscience freedom to operate in horticulture within the ornamental field.
We believe that this technology has a promising future and we intend to help develop it into an industry standard in the coming decade. To reach the target we have defined, Ornamental Bioscience is pursuing a strategy of cooperation with leading breeders and distributors worldwide.
