Breeding of Cut Flowers

INQUIRY

Cut flowers are a floral classification that can be cut from a flowering plant and used as a gift in a bouquet or vase. Most of these flowers have long flowers, stalks, or branches, are colorful or fragrant, and are suitable for vase use. They are the material for floral arrangements, also known as floral materials. They are popular for floral decorations such as bouquets, baskets, and wreaths.

Lifeasible is a comprehensive plant research company. We play a crucial role in promoting the breeding of cut-flower plants, improving the quality and economic value of existing cut-flower varieties, and maximizing the demand for quality cut-flower diversity.

The solutions we offer

Our breeding platform

  • Hybrid breeding. We integrate the characteristics of both parents into the hybrid progeny by crossing them. This results in progeny with higher ornamental value and other quality characteristics.
  • Tissue culture. Our tissue culture technology for breeding new varieties of ornamental flowers is characterized by fast propagation, easy management, strong plant growth, and neat flowering. In addition, the combination of mutagenesis breeding and molecular breeding with the tissue culture technology we offer makes it possible to breed more diverse varieties of ornamental flowers. This is with better economic and social benefits.
  • Mutagenesis breeding. Mutation breeding uses physical and chemical mutagenesis for mutagenesis treatment. Physical mutagenesis mainly uses radiation mutagenesis, and chemical mutagenesis especially utilizing EMS mutagenesis.
  • Molecular breeding. We establish the linkage between genetic variation of markers or candidate genes and target traits through molecular markers and genetic map construction, and further in-depth research on molecular marker-assisted breeding of ornamental flowers and localization and cloning of functional genes, and we breed new flower varieties with better ornamental value by studying genes and their expressions that regulate epistatic traits.

What we offer

  • Flower color breeding. In flower color breeding, we use hybrid breeding and genetic engineering technology to breed several new flower color varieties. This is to fully meet the demand of the flower market for ornamental flower color diversity.
  • Flowering breeding. By selecting and breeding varieties with a longer flowering period, we can significantly extend the life of cut flowers in a vase and also increase their commercial value.
  • Flower type breeding. Using hybrid breeding techniques and genetic engineering, we will aim to produce new varieties of ornamental flowers with richer flower types and higher ornamental value.
  • Fragrance breeding. We will improve the scent of ornamental flowers at the molecular level by cloning genes for plant scent compound synthesis. At present, most of our research focuses on producing fragrance varieties by introducing exogenous genes related to flower fragrances or by regulating the expression of endogenous related genes.
  • Resistance breeding. We use genetic engineering technology to effectively breed transgenic varieties of ornamental flowers with high resistance to disease, cold, drought, salt, etc., which have been effectively used in park landscaping.
