Breeding of Lagerstroemia indica

INQUIRY

Lagerstroemia indica has a long flowering period, rich flower color, pollution resistance, and strong adaptability. It is an excellent garden flowering species that combines morphological beauty, color, and style and is widely used in landscaping.

Lifeasible is a comprehensive plant research company. At present, in the breeding of new varieties of purple Lagerstroemia indica, we are constantly selecting new variety selection. We are breeding several new varieties of Lagerstroemia indica with bright flower colors, strong resistance to adversity, and high ornamental value.

Breeding of Lagerstroemia indica

Our breeding platform

The research we provide on breeding Lagerstroemia indica focuses on cross breeding, mutagenesis breeding, and genetic breeding.

The cross breeding we provide focuses on interspecific and interspecific distant crosses of Lagerstroemia indica. We have obtained a series of new varieties of Lagerstroemia indica with distinct characteristics such as flower color and resistance. We have bred several Lagerstroemia indica varieties using crosses and other methods. Lagerstroemia indica varieties can be divided into several groups, including colored leaf variety groups based on flower and leaf color and other traits.

In addition, since Lagerstroemia indica itself is rich in flower color but lacks yellow, orange, blue, green, and other colors, and wild Lagerstroemia indica rarely has the disadvantage of fragrance, it is also difficult to use the resources within the genus to achieve a breakthrough in flower color and fragrance breeding, so we employ mutation breeding, chromosome doubling and other methods for solving this problem in Lagerstroemia indica breeding. In mutation breeding, we have mainly used radiation mutagenesis and chemical reagent mutagenesis. We have obtained new varieties of Lagerstroemia indica with specific flower colors, outstanding resistance, or polyploidy.

What we provide

We aim to combine traditional breeding methods with modern breeding methods to produce new varieties of Lagerstroemia indica with specific flower colors, pleasant fragrances, and a diverse flowering period. This is done through technological and germplasm innovation.

  • Although Lagerstroemia indica has brilliant flower colors, it lacks blue, yellow, orange, and green varieties. Therefore, we have effectively enhanced Lagerstroemia indica flower colors by broadening genetic resources and improving technical means.
  • Breeding fragrant varieties. This solution will help to breed new varieties of Lagerstroemia indica with a pleasant fragrance.
  • Regulate and extend the flowering period. Lagerstroemia indica flowers in the summer. By regulating or extending the flowering period, Lagerstroemia indica's value in landscaping can be greatly improved.
  • Strain adjustment. Besides breeding dwarf Lagerstroemia indica varieties, we also breed no-pruning tree-type Lagerstroemia indica and vertical shrub-type Lagerstroemia indica.
