ALORA

ALORA is an agricultural biotechnology company developing gene-edited crop traits that redirect plant energy from stress defence to yield.

Using multiplex gene editing, the company targets regulatory pathways controlling how plants respond to heat, salinity, and drought, aiming to increase productivity across growing conditions without introducing foreign DNA.

Its lead work is in rice, with controlled environment and open-field trials conducted at Norwich Research Park in collaboration with the John Innes Centre.
