We envision a world where trees can be vaccinated and cured like humans, without the need to alter their genomes.

 

Silvec will become the trusted partner of growers and stewards of nature around the world, helping to ensure abundant and diverse food supplies while protecting our natural resources.

 

Trees are being decimated at an unprecedented rate with almost no species not under increasing threat from emerging pathogens.

 

Our products are based on a novel type of RNA discovered by the Silvec team which can be engineered to target almost any virus, bacteria, or fungus without altering the host’s genome.

 

Silvec products use a unique delivery approach based on a novel type of RNA that we were the first to characterize. A single application can provide lifetime protection for a tree, vine, or bush against many diseases, eliminating much of the need for genetic modification. We believe this represents a comparable breakthrough for trees as the invention of vaccines and antibiotics have had for humans.
