WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN) (“Yield10” or the “Company”), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that USDA-APHIS’s Biotechnology Regulatory Services (“BRS”) has determined that Yield10’s glufosinate tolerant Camelina sativa ("Camelina”) may be grown and bred in the United States. Yield10 submitted a Request for Regulatory Status Review (“RSR”) to the BRS under the SECURE Rule in June 2022 for glufosinate tolerant Camelina. The response from USDA-APHIS means that the agency does not consider the modified Camelina plant to be an increased plant pest risk as compared to unmodified Camelina and is therefore not subject to regulation under 7 CFR part 340 regulations. Yield10’s submission along with the USDA-APHIS BRS response is posted on the USDA’s website.

Key Points: 
  • Yield10 submitted a Request for Regulatory Status Review (“RSR”) to the BRS under the SECURE Rule in June 2022 for glufosinate tolerant Camelina.
  • “The regulatory clearance of glufosinate tolerant Camelina through USDA-APHIS represents a significant commercial milestone for Yield10,” said Kristi Snell, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Yield10 Bioscience.
  • We believe glufosinate tolerant Camelina will provide growers with new options for weed management allowing Camelina to fit seamlessly into crop rotations driving commercial adoption.
  • Yield10 is currently scaling-up seed inventory in anticipation of the commercial launch of glufosinate tolerant Camelina.
