Quantum Flowers & Foods at the 42nd Japanese Plant Biotechnology Conference

Quantum Flowers & Foods (QFF), based in Mito City, Ibaraki, continues to push the boundaries of plant biotechnology with its groundbreaking technology, the Neutron Beam Speedy Breeding®. This service allows for incredibly rapid variety improvement, creating new strains in plants in just one year, and in microorganisms in as little as one week. QFF is set to exhibit at the upcoming 42nd Japanese Plant Biotechnology Conference occurring from September 5 to 7, 2025, at Kobe University, Rokkodai Second Campus.

At the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with QFF's innovative offerings. QFF will showcase the following:

Neutron Beam Speedy Breeding® Technology Presentation

This technology offers a revolutionary approach to accelerating plant breeding. By utilizing quantum biotechnology, QFF has achieved success where traditional methods fall short, inducing mutations at a rate 15 to 300 times more effective than conventional approaches. This makes it possible to enhance resilience against climate-related stressors and develop functional materials with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Food Tech Demonstration

During the conference, attendees can view posters highlighting cutting-edge examples of variety improvements in high-nutritional vegetables, heat-resistant flowers, and functional lactic acid bacteria. These displays emphasize the practical application of QFF's technology in real-world scenarios, showcasing its potential impact within the agricultural sector.

Collaboration and Consultation Corner

QFF invites universities, companies, and local governments to consult on introducing its technology. Customized proposals will be available, fostering collaboration in breeding initiatives that address contemporary agricultural challenges.

The conference is organized by the Japanese Society for Plant Biotechnology and is expected to attract around 500 participants based on previous year's attendance. Participants can register for on-site attendance and will have the chance to visit QFF's booth, where technical materials will be available for attendees who present their business cards.

Background on QFF's Technology

As global challenges such as climate change and population growth increase demands for adaptable and functionally enhanced crops, the need for rapid and diverse breeding solutions has surged worldwide. QFF's Neutron Beam Speedy Breeding® stands out as the world's first successfully implemented neutron beam breeding service, allowing for new strain development. This innovation is particularly beneficial for microorganisms with unknown target genes that are difficult to modify through conventional genome editing techniques.

The neutron breeding technology promises to drive innovations across various industrial fields and accelerate solutions to societal issues. QFF aims to connect with organizations involved in breeding, including research institutions, seed companies, food manufacturers, beverage companies, brewing enterprises, and bio-startups, to advance collaborative projects and knowledge exchange.

In preparation for the conference, QFF looks forward to engaging as many stakeholders as possible to discuss the forefront of plant biotechnology and its transformative applications for modern agriculture.
