Who we are

Superfruiter was established following a revolutionary technological breakthrough developed at the “Volcani Center”, Israel’s National R&D powerhouse. This innovation, based on years of trials, allows for the miniaturization of fruits from the Cucurbit family, all governed by a single gene.

Our Technology

Genetic analyses done by the team of researchers revealed that a single gene governs this trait and they named the gene: “Superfruiter”. The mutant gene was cloned and identified, its function and mechanism of action were documented and the gene and its effect have been worldwide patented. Furthermore, crosses of this mutant gene with various melon types showed similar effects in all tested fruit types. The discovery was spearheaded by Dr. Kobi Tadmor, SuperFruiter’s founder, and his team, who identified this gene in melons, resulting in empty, non-fertile seeds with no embryo, producing tiny and sweet melons.
