Syngenta, Dow Sign Agreement

Syngenta and Dow AgroSciences made a major announcement during the Beltwide meeting.

Syngenta has now granted Dow AgroSciences licenses to a number of the VipCot cotton varieties as well as access to the company's COT102 cotton transgenic event.

Under terms of the agreement, Dow will receive a global license to develop and commercialize stacked combinations of Syngenta's COT102 transgenic event with Dow's traits. The COT102 event contains Vip3A, a novel vegetative insecticidal protein that is structurally different from insect traits currently on the market. It has a distinct mode of action, which is an important tool for insect resistance management.
