Plant Sensory Systems' mission is to develop technologies that will improve agricultural performance and alleviate negative environmental impact by optimizing the ability of plants to acquire and utilize nutrients to increase biomass, yield, and quality.

Plant Sensory Systems, LLC (PSS) was founded by Frank and Kathleen Turano as a Limited Liability Company in Maryland July 2007. The founders use their understanding of signaling pathways and their expertise in plant nutrient and stress sensory systems to enhance specific traits and optimize agricultural performance.

PSS currently has two technologies: the NUE/Stress Tolerance technology which increases nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and stress tolerance in plants, and the Metabolic Regulator technology which can target entire metabolic pathways to improve specific agricultural traits.
