The Future of pepper genetics
CapsiBreed is an Israeli ag-biotech company revolutionizing pepper breeding through precision gene editing technology. Founded in 2023, CapsiBreed was established to empower seed companies with faster, more reliable methods to develop sweet and spicy peppers with superior traits. The company’s proprietary PepGEM™ platform was developed after over 10 years of academic research at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, one of the world’s leading agricultural research institutions. By integrating AI-driven bioinformatics with advanced molecular biology, CRISPR-based genome editing, and optimized tissue culture techniques, CapsiBreed overcomes the genetic bottlenecks that have historically made peppers notoriously difficult to transform.
Traditional pepper breeding methods take 7-15 years to deliver a new trait and often fail to meet today’s agricultural demands for disease resistance, climate resilience, and improved nutrition. CapsiBreed addresses these challenges with a scalable, science-backed solution that dramatically accelerates trait development while reducing costs. The platform enables the simultaneous introduction of multiple high-value traits—whether recessive or dominant—unlocking possibilities that were previously unattainable through conventional breeding.
• Accelerates breeding timelines from years to months using precision CRISPR genome editing technology
• Develops enhanced traits including disease resistance, extended shelf life, improved flavor, drought tolerance, and nutritional enrichment
• Serves agriculture, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries with customized pepper varieties
• Partners with leading seed companies globally, including Erma Zaden for commercial germplasm integration and Norfolk Healthy Produce for U.S. regulatory pathways
• Applies cross-crop expertise from tomatoes, lettuce, and ornamentals to pepper innovation
• Supports gene editing, genetic engineering, and trait discovery for both hot and sweet pepper varieties
• Offers transparent pricing and flexible sublicensing agreements designed for companies, startups, and researchers at every scale
