1224 ET - Gene editing could be at the core of Corteva's longterm potential, UBS analysts say in a research note following the company's investor day. The seed and pesticide maker's ability to start with leading germplasm (seed genetics), and then tune/tweak to develop disease resistance, together with improved yield performance, should accelerate yield growth over time, the analysts say. This should enhance Corteva's seed value proposition, too, the analysts say. "Gene editing also has the opportunity to reduce development costs and increase speed to market, and can also benefit biologicals growth with targeted microbe design." Shares rise 0.4% to $58.45.
