Breeding of Nelumbo nucifera

INQUIRY

Nelumbo nucifera is a perennial aquatic herb with rich flower colors, red, pink, white, green, yellow, etc. Flower types include single, multi-petaled, heavy, and thousand petals. Nelumbo nucifera is a valuable landscape plant with high economic value and edible, medicinal, and ornamental values.

Lifeasible is committed to ornamental flower breeding research. We aim to breed new varieties of Nelumbo nucifera with more ornamental value, relying on advanced biotechnology. Together with researchers worldwide, we offer effective solutions for Nelumbo nucifera breeding research.

Breeding of Nelumbo nucifera

Our breeding platform

  • Hybrid breeding

We offer hybrid breeding for targeted breeding of superior varieties with complementary parental traits, the main means of Nelumbo nucifera breeding. Through crosses between varieties within the Nelumbo nucifera breeding line, excellent varieties with complementary parental traits can be obtained. Through interspecific distant crosses, it is possible to breed hybrids with different flower types between the two parents. These hybrids have flower colors closer to the parent and higher ornamental qualities. The progeny of Nelumbo nucifera bred using hybridization technology have many traits and ornamental values that far exceed those of the parents.

  • Bud mutation

Bud mutation is a somatic mutation. Bud transformation occurs in the cells of the meristematic tissue of the bud. When the bud sprouts and grows into a branch, it exhibits a different trait from the original. We offer many applications in breeding Nelumbo nucifera through bud change breeding. So far, we have bred various varieties of Nelumbo nucifera, such as heavy table type and thousand petal-type, by using bud change breeding technology.

There are few natural polyploid varieties of Nelumbo nucifera. Artificially induced polyploid breeding can increase lotus root yield, which has high economic and commercial value. It is also one of the effective ways to breed large Nelumbo nucifera varieties suitable for lake and pond beautification. So far, we have bred some tetraploid plants with peculiar flower patterns, high numbers of flowers, and brilliant colors using ploidy breeding techniques. These polyploid Nelumbo nucifera plants have larger plants, stout petioles, and large and colorful flowers.
