Pairwise and Sun World form a joint venture to develop a pitless cherry

Pairwise

Pairwise and fruit breeder Sun World formed a joint venture to develop a pitless cherry using Pairwise's CRISPR-based Fulcrum gene-editing platform. Pairwise leads research; Sun World funds development, supplies cherry breeding material and holds exclusive commercial rights.

• Partnership combines Pairwise's precision gene-editing technology with Sun World's 50+ years of fruit-breeding expertise and commercial networks.
• Sun World holds exclusive commercial rights, aiming to be first-to-market with a convenience-focused cherry product.
• Aligns with Sun World's history of consumer-friendly innovations: seedless grapes (1972), seedless watermelons and easy-peel mandarins.
