Description

The Toulouse-based company, founded in 2016, focuses on developing non-GMO bioherbicides and biostimulants using micro-peptides, which temporarily control gene expression and regulate plant growth without altering DNA. Micropep's four development programs target germination, flowering, growth, and weed control. By identifying and harnessing miRNA-encoded peptides, Micropep aims to speed up or slow down germination, increase plant resistance to diseases, or accelerate flowering, offering innovative biological crop protection solutions.
