Introductions

Breeding of Alstroemeria aurea Graham

The native species of Alstroemeria aurea Graham are mainly found in Chile and Brazil, and they are available in various colors, including fuchsia, mauve, red, pink, and white. Also, the cut flowers of Alstroemeria aurea Graham have a long life in the bottle, lasting 2 weeks or more, and can be grown as cut flowers, potted plants, or in the garden. However, because they are dormant for a period of time during the year, the flowers are usually small and are not in good condition after harvest. Therefore, the breeding goal of Alstroemeria aurea Graham is to produce varieties with novel flower colors, fragrant flowers, continuous flowering, and vigorous growth.

Lifeasible is committed to helping customers develop an effective Alstroemeria aurea Graham breeding program using conventional intraspecific and intermediate crosses ex-situ techniques to produce varieties that are desirable as cut flowers, potted plants, or garden flowers.

What We Follow

We used plant tissue culture techniques, including embryo culture, somatic embryogenesis, mutagenesis, and rapid propagation, to breed Alstroemeria aurea Graham varieties that meet the breeding objectives, based on the characteristic that Alstroemeria aurea Graham do not mature simultaneously with pistils and stamens.

What We Provide

Flower Color Improvement

We can provide flower color assessment services based on color cards and color meters and use high-performance liquid chromatography to help customers identify anthocyanin content and screen key genes involved in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway through statistical analysis to guide flower color improvement.

Flower Fragrance Improvement

The fragrance of flowers consists of a mixture of small volatile molecules that varies according to the plant species. Studying the first fragrant species of Alstroemeria aurea Graham, scientists have found that the genes controlling flower fragrance may be nuclear genes that can be transmitted through pollen. We can use traditional breeding techniques to help our customers screen for varieties with floral fragrances through cross-breeding.

Cold Stress Tolerance Improvement

We try to help our customers to breed varieties with cold tolerance by using interspecific crosses of Brazilian and Chilean Alstroemeria aurea Graham.
