Transgenesis is a powerful and effective mode to study plant development. CropDesign has developed the TraitMill platform, a high-throughput technology that enables large-scale transgenesis and plant evaluation. The TraitMill is a highly versatile tool for testing the effect of genes and gene combinations on plant phenotypes. It can be used to successfully evaluate hundreds of independent promoter-genes combinations per year, either under optimal growth conditions or under different abiotic or nutrient stress regimes. The TraitMill platform operates in rice and is specially designed to measure alterations in growth with high sensitivity. To date TraitMill is the only platform that combines these two features and is therefore uniquely placed to identify genes that improve the yield of cereals
