Breeding of Ornamental Life
INQUIRYIntroductions
The postharvest life of cut and potted flowers is the period from harvest to the ornamental value of the urban area, a trait known as bottle life in cut flowers. The physiological characteristics that determine the longevity of bottle flowers include the opening and closing of flowers, color change of flowers and leaves, aging of plant organs, and shedding of plant organs. Most cut flowers are produced in Central America or East Africa but are sold in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Therefore, extending the life span of vase flowers and selecting new varieties with longer ornamental life spans are research priorities in ornamental flower breeding.
Lifeasible is dedicated to developing new ornamental long-lived flower species using molecular biology techniques through research on the molecular mechanisms of senescence and abscission.
How We Help
Currently, traditional breeding and screening for ornamental longevity traits remain the primary means of breeding new ornamental flowers. The high variability and heritability of ornamental longevity traits open the way for the progressive improvement of ornamental longevity traits in ornamental flowers in breeding programs. Using gene editing techniques, certain specific target genes are knocked out or modified, and the regulation of the natural promoters of the target genes is precisely identified and modified for the improvement of ornamental longevity traits.

What We Provide
Biotechnology to Improve the Ornamental Life of Cut Flowers
Since ethylene synthesis and ethylene response directly affects bottle life, based on the already constructed genetic transformation system for cut flowers, we tried to extend the bottle life of transgenic lines by transforming modified ethylene receptors to reduce the ethylene sensitivity of leaves.
Biotechnology to Improve the Ornamental Life of Potted Flowers
Based on the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying flower and leaf senescence and bud and flower abscission, we were able to use biotechnology to assist in the improvement of ornamental longevity traits in some potted plants. We have been able to significantly improve the ornamental longevity of flowers in potted plants not only through direct interference with the effects of cotyledon but also by using transgenic techniques to affect other plant hormones involved in senescence.
Lifeasible provides the most comprehensive and efficient solutions for breeding ornamental flowers. We are committed to helping our customers cultivate more ornamental flowers. We look forward to providing you with the most professional and efficient service to meet your individual needs. If you are interested in our services or have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
