The group led by Dr. Juan Carlos del Pozo has found that the transcription factor OBP4 activates cell proliferation in differentiated pericycle cells. This activation promotes the formation of callus, a mass of proliferative cells in an undifferentiated state. This callus mass has the potential to regenerate functional organs or entire plant under determinate conditions.

The Spanish company, a spin off from the UPM founded by two CBGP researchers, receives this recognition at the 7th edition of EuropaBio Awards for its highly innovative projects in biotecnology.
