Breeding for Resistance

Compared with other crops, ornamental flowers differ greatly in cultivation methods, cultivation cycles, etc., requiring year-round supply. The production and origin are basically inconsistent, so the possibility of various pests and diseases and uncomfortable environments that cause damage is relatively large; relying only on control measures can not guarantee the quality of ornamental flowers and good control effect. Therefore, it is important to cultivate resistant varieties for ornamental flowers.

Lifeasible is dedicated to breeding ornamental flower varieties with resistance to biotic and abiotic adversity using conventional and molecular breeding methods.

How We Help

At present, conventional breeding techniques for ornamental flowers are still the main means of flower breeding. However, compared with conventional breeding methods, genetic engineering breeding has the advantage of targeted modification of one or some traits while keeping other traits unchanged. We can clone key genes that exert resistance based on the response mechanism of ornamental flowers to adversity and construct transgenic ornamental flowers with resistance.

What We Provide

Disease Resistance Breeding

Classes of viruses and viruses, bacteria, and fungi can all harm ornamental flowers. The attack of plant pathogens triggers the immune response of plants. Based on the study of plant immune response; we can use biotechnology to assist in breeding ornamental flowers for disease resistance.

Salt Tolerance Breeding

Salt stress leads to metabolic disorders in ornamental flowers, disrupting the redox system of the plant. Different ornamental flowers have different tolerance to salt stress, and based on the study of salt tolerance mechanisms, we can improve the salt tolerance of ornamental flowers using various biotechnological tools.

Cold Stress Tolerance Breeding

Cold resistance refers to the damage caused by low temperatures to ornamental flowers and consists of a complex set of quantitative traits. We can study the key genes regulating plant cold resistance from the response mechanism of ornamental flowers under low-temperature stress and use genetic engineering to improve the cold resistance of ornamental flowers genetically.

Drought Stress Tolerance Breeding

Drought tolerance in ornamental flowers is a complex trait. With the development of modern molecular biology, studies in transcriptomics, proteomics, and regulation of gene expression have revealed the molecular mechanisms underlying the action of drought stress in plants. We can breed flower varieties with drought resistance using molecular breeding techniques based on the molecular mechanisms of drought resistance.
