Advanta Seeds, in collaboration with the University of Buenos Aires School of Agriculture (FAUBA), the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina, has achieved a breakthrough by identifying a key genomic region linked to pre-harvest sprouting tolerance in sorghum—an issue that can cause up to 30% yield losses.

This discovery, published in Plant Biotechnology Journal and highlighted by multiple media outlets, demonstrates the power of public-private collaboration to deliver more stable, high-quality, and climate-resilient sorghum hybrids.

At Advanta, we are already integrating this advancement into our breeding programs, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and sustainable agriculture.
