Breeding of Camellia nitidissima

INQUIRY

Camellia nitidissima is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is an excellent garden ornamental. Its flowers are large, golden yellow, dazzling, waxy, and crystalline and have great ornamental value. In addition, Camellia nitidissima has high scientific and medicinal value. Therefore, it is of significant practical importance to cultivate high-quality Camellia nitidissima varieties.

Lifeasible is a comprehensive plant research company. With our advanced breeding platform, we aim to provide comprehensive and effective ornamental plant breeding solutions.

Breeding of Camellia nitidissima

Significance of Camellia nitidissima breeding research

  • Ornamental value of Camellia nitidissima

The discovery of Camellia nitidissima fills a gap in the Camelliaceae family, which has no golden yellow flowers, with its round buds and brilliant colors. Its waxy green leaves are crystal clear, and its petals are transparent, firm, shiny, and smooth. The petals are overlapping and dense, beautiful, and pleasant to the eye.

  • Scientific research value

Camellia nitidissima has special color genetic DNA, and its reproduction is difficult to be copied. By adopting high technology to solve the problem of rapid propagation of Camellia nitidissima seedlings with excellent survival genes, to overcome the difficult problem of low survival, and to break through the key technology of slow growth and low yield of Camellia nitidissima, we can significantly increase the yield of Camellia nitidissima grown on a large scale. In addition, Camellia nitidissima medical and healthcare products are of significant scientific value for human health.

  • Medicinal value

Camellia nitidissima has high medicinal value. A decoction of young leaves refreshes the mind, clearing liver fire and detoxifying fever. The old leaves can be decocted to treat dysentery or used externally to cleanse wounds.

Our breeding platform

Tissue culture

We offer Camellia nitidissima embryo cultures, cotyledon free cultures, stem tip, and single shoot cultures that have succeeded.

  • Embryo culture. Embryos are taken mainly at the immature stage of young fruits.
  • Camellia nitidissima cotyledons are effective material for embryo induction, especially the part near the hypocotyl, which is more frequently induced.
  • Culture of stem tips and single shoots. Stem tip and single shoot culture is an effective way for rapid propagation of Camellia nitidissima. It is easy to take, and has a high proliferation rate and stable heritability.

Genetic engineering technology

We have used genetic engineering technology to provide an idea for targeted modification of Camellia nitidissima flower color, leaf color, flower type, and plant type. Currently, using genetic engineering technology, we can modify ornamental traits such as flower color and leaf color in a targeted manner. This is while retaining other original traits. We can also change Camellia nitidissima ornamental traits by introducing exogenous genes that regulate flower and leaf color. In the breeding research of Camellia nitidissima, we have also applied molecular marker technology to locate genes for some specific target traits in Camellia nitidissima. This has improved the transformation rate.
