Breeding of Caladium Vent
INQUIRYIntroductions
Caladium Vent. is a genus of Araceae, native to tropical South America, and is widely used in potted plants and landscaping for its bright leaf color and diverse leaf shape. Cross-breeding has been the main method of Caladium Vent. Breeding, with a new variety selection focusing on traits such as vibrant leaf color, novel mottling patterns, multiple leaves, and high tuber-yielding ability. Currently, breeding goals for Caladium Vent. are brighter leaf color, greater disease resistance, and cold resistance.
Lifeasible is dedicated to improving the traits of Caladium Vent. Using protoplast culture, somatic cell hybridization, genetic transformation, genome and transcriptome sequencing, and targeted gene editing technologies.
What We Follow
Based on the sequencing of the genome and transcriptome of several Caladium Vent. variants, we can design highly specific guide RNAs and other vectors for precision breeding or targeted gene editing of Caladium Vent.

What We Provide
Color Improvement
The ornamental value of Caladium Vent. depends to a large extent on its leaf characteristics, including the number, size, type, color, and chromatic pattern of the leaves. We are working on studying the coloration pattern of the Caladium Vent. and expect to create varieties with novel coloration patterns through molecular breeding techniques.
Disease Resistance Improvement
Common pathogens of Caladium Vent. include Pythium, pathogenic Xanthomonas, and Fusarium. Based on the screened commercial Caladium Vent. varieties, we have identified many varieties that are resistant to fungal and bacterial pathogens. We have been working on resistance mechanisms in disease-resistant varieties and expect to breed new resistant varieties through molecular breeding techniques.
Cold Resistance Improvement
Caladium Vent. is a tropical plant very sensitive to low temperatures and cold damage. This low-temperature sensitivity limits the use of Caladium Vent. in landscape species in subtropical and temperate regions, reduces the plant's performance, and limits the production and transportation of Caladium Vent. We are committed to breeding new varieties with cold resistance by studying the differences between varieties with different low-temperature sensitivity and using molecular breeding techniques.
