Description:
Functional Bioengineering, Inc., is a startup company preparing to test a new patent pending approach that uses an advanced Artificial Intelligence system 'trained' to 'learn' the part of a plant's genetic code that determines the chemical by-products it produces. By comparing large numbers of similar plants, the system learns how the patterns between these two systems correlate. This will allow for accurate genetic modification of plants to produce customized plant extracts (biofuels, oils, solvents, waxes, resins, polymers, etc.) of unimaginable purity and potency, and eventually lead to the ability to influence and enhance agricultural yields, resistance to competing weeds and pests, as well as environmental hardiness.
