3 outcomes of applied epigenetics:
1. Faster growing, higher yielding, tougher plants
– via natural gene duplication (polyploidy)
2. Stress tolerant plants
– tolerating salinity, toxicity, aridity & climate change
3. Disease resistant plants
– totally resisting virus, bacteria & fungi

9 Key Facts
1. A natural process (products are not GMO)2. Plants are fertile3. Induced traits are heritable through generations4. Applies to all species (including food)5. Identifiable (unique genetic fingerprint)6. Can be easily monetised7. Income multiplies as plants propagate8. Unique technology (no competitors)9. Protected by leveraged Patent strategy

1. Polygenomic Plants
• Naturally induced gene duplication (polyploidy)• More CO2 efficient – +50% • Faster growth – 30% shorter harvest cycle• Higher yield earlier – 30%+ from same inputs• More robust – utilise marginal land• More water efficient – for a drier world• Climate tough – for a hotter world
