The company explained, "This technology enhances pest resistance by inducing the biosynthesis of 20-hydroxyecdysone (an insect growth hormone) for eco-friendly pest control. It involves simultaneously introducing 5 to 6 genes related to the biosynthesis of 20E, which is an insect growth hormone within plant cells that regulates molting, thereby enabling the plant to autonomously biosynthesize 20E and strengthen its insect resistance."
