Overview

Yield10 Bioscience was an agricultural biosciences company focused on developing advanced genetic traits in the oilseed crop Camelina sativa using its proprietary Trait Factory™ platform. The company's main innovations included engineering Camelina to produce biodegradable PHA bioplastics directly in seeds—targeting markets such as sustainable plastics replacement and water treatment—and developing high-yielding or specialty-oil varieties for use in food ingredients and low-carbon biofuels. The company also licensed its yield-improving genetic traits to major seed companies for deployment into row crops like corn and soybean. In December 2024 it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to financial difficulties.
