Breeding of Onagraceae
INQUIRYIntroductions
Onagraceae has been used as an essential garden plant because of its long flowering period and beautiful flower shape. Onagraceae was first discovered on the island of Hispaniola and is currently the most abundant species in the tropical Andes. The species of the genus Onagraceae show great variation in flower color and shape and can be distinguished by The species of Onagraceae show great variation in flower color and shape and can be distinguished from each other by the number of petals. In recent years, the breeding objectives of Onagraceae have been focused on the improvement of resistance and the improvement of flower color and shape to meet the market demand.
Lifeasible is committed to using genomics and transcriptomics technologies to study the molecular mechanisms of ornamental traits in Onagraceae, thereby contributing to breeding new varieties.
What We Follow
Onagraceae is a very hybridizable plant, and seedlings can be easily produced from highly fertile polyploid hybrids. However, breeding with limited genetic resources increases the likelihood that new varieties will be phenotypically similar, while inbreeding also weakens the resistance in many hybrids. With the development of new technologies such as genomics and transcriptomics, we expect to combine traditional breeding techniques with molecular breeding techniques to support the improvement and experimental development of more new varieties that meet ornamental needs.

What We Provide
Flower Color Improvement
The flower pigment present in Onagraceae is anthocyanin, and the predominant flower color is orange, contrary to the order of pigment dominance. The type and relative content of anthocyanin in Onagraceae and the occurrence of hydroxylation and methylation of the pigment affect the color presented by the purple flowers. We are working to investigate the molecular mechanism of pigment synthesis to produce Onagraceae with novel flower color.
Petal spots are widespread in Onagraceae. The color and position of the petal spots enhance the ornamental value of Onagraceae to a great extent. We aim to investigate the genetic patterns behind the changes in petal spot pigment synthesis pathways and positions, identify potential candidate genes for spot formation using comparative transcriptome analysis, etc., and promote the generation of Onagraceae with different petal spots.
Disease Resistance Improvement
Pests and diseases can severely limit the cultivation of Onagraceae and the development of new varieties. The main diseases of Onagraceae are caused by Botrytis and rust, and the main insect pests are caused by whiteflies and red spiders. Based on the study of genomic and transcriptomic information of resistant varieties of hybrid species, we are working on breeding Onagraceae that are not susceptible to pathogens using molecular breeding techniques.
