ABOUT US

TarLab Biyoteknoloji was established in 2019 with the support of TÜBİTAK – 1512 Technology Venture Capital Support and conducts intensive R&D activities in the field of plant biotechnology.

Our work focuses on the integration of modern biotechnological methods (such as plant tissue culture and doubled-haploid techniques, marker-assisted selection) into plant breeding processes, aiming to produce 100% homozygous parental lines in a shorter time frame and at a lower cost compared to traditional methods.

Traditional breeding methods can take 10-20 years due to reasons such as backcrossing, seasonal barriers, and the need to work with excessive material, and achieving 100% homozygosity in resulting plants may not always be feasible, leading to genetic vulnerabilities and yield losses. These drawbacks can be easily overcome with the use of modern biotechnological methods.
