The licensed genes were discovered through PlantArcBio’s patented DIP™ platform

GIVAT CHEN, Israel and RIO CLARO, Brazil, Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PlantArcBio, an ag-biotechnology company pioneering precision biology for better crop performance, and Helix Sementes e Biotecnologia, a corn and sorghum seed company within Agroceres Group, today announced a licensing collaboration to develop and commercialize novel corn traits designed to increase yield and improve drought resilience in key South American markets.

Under the agreement, Helix has licensed PlantArcBio’s proprietary genes associated with yield improvement and drought tolerance for application in corn. The collaboration will focus on integrating these genes into Helix’s elite corn germplasm and advancing product development for key South American corn producing countries as Brazil and Argentina.

The licensed genes were discovered by PlantArcBio using its patented DIP™ platform, which enables high throughput discovery of novel genes with strong and reproducible agronomic impact. In collaboration with Rallis India (a Tata enterprise), these genes were introduced into corn and demonstrated significant and consistent yield improvements under both irrigated and drought-stress conditions.

The collaboration with Helix advances this validated technology into elite corn germplasm for South American markets, accelerating the development of competitive commercial hybrids.

“We are pleased to partner with Helix, a strong regional player with deep expertise in corn breeding and commercialization,” said Dror Shalitin, CEO of PlantArcBio. “By combining our validated genetic technology with Helix’s elite commercial lines, this collaboration has the potential to deliver high-performing, climate-resilient corn hybrids that can make a real difference for growers across key South American countries.”

“A drought-resilient corn would be a major breakthrough for Brazilian growers, especially considering the climate conditions of our second yearly harvest”, said Urbano Ribeiral Jr., CFO of Agroceres Group. “Integrating PlantArcBio’s genes into our elite germplasm supports the development of competitive commercial corn hybrids for both grain and silage, with the goal of addressing key agronomic challenges faced by growers.”

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
