FLG is a life science-based biotechnology company focused on four business segments:

Crop Improvement

Grape – The world's most commercially valuable fruit crop. FLG is addressing grape improvement through disease resistance with its exclusively licensed patented technology and proprietary intellectual property. The grape program is our most mature, with extensive laboratory and greenhouse evaluation programs and stage 1 field tests in place.

Citrus – A major fruit crop in the US and worldwide. Preliminary research with FLG-licensed technology is underway in an attempt to combat serious diseases of citrus.

Biomass Technology

Switchgrass – Identified in 1978 by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to be the best biomass crop in the US for production of renewable energy. FLG scientitsts have extensive experience with the bioengineering of grasses. FLG plans to utilize exclusively licensed patented technology to enhance switchgrass quality and production for use as a biomass crop.

Biofuel Technology

Bioethanol – A source of renewable energy to replace dwindling oil reserves. While bioethanol is beginning to be utilized as a gasoline substitute or additive worldwide, it remains too expensive to compete with oil. Furthermore, if current bioethanol production technology and efficiency is not dramatically improved, its widespread production from grain and sugar cane will wreak economic and ecological havoc. FLG will apply its patented technology and proprietary know-how to engineer improved microbes and enzymes for increased ethanol conversion efficiency from cellulosic biomass sources.

Technology Licensing

Proprietary genes, promoters and molecular tools for use with plants, animals and fungi.

FLG's broad-based molecular genetics technologies are available for sub-licensing to outside commerical interests. FLG will enter into joint ventures with suitable partners.
