Breeding of Phalaenopsis equestris

INQUIRY

Phalaenopsis equestris is a genus of perennial herbs with the rich flower color and beautiful flower shape. It has high ornamental value and is loved by people worldwide. Phalaenopsis equestris has provided economic value to many countries and regions.

Lifeasible continues to deepen the breeding work of Phalaenopsis equestris. It relies on cross breeding, mutagenesis breeding, polyploid breeding, and genetic engineering breeding to further provide effective solutions for breeding quality varieties of Phalaenopsis equestris.

Breeding of Phalaenopsis equestris

Our breeding platforms

Hybrid breeding

Cross breeding is one of the most common and effective means of selecting and breeding Phalaenopsis equestris. Cross breeding concentrates the best traits of multiple species, and hybrid offspring have obvious advantages. Cross breeding requires us to determine the breeding target according to our breeding needs. We should then select suitable parents purposefully according to the target. Generally, after successful crossbreeding, combined with techniques such as group culture fast breeding and sterile seeding, the breeding process can be further shortened.

Mutagenesis in breeding

We provide mutagenic breeding to improve and innovate Phalaenopsis equestris germplasm resources after caste degradation caused by long-term asexual reproduction. In recent years, we have obtained wide excellent Phalaenopsis equestris varieties with ornamental value through mutation breeding. These varieties include flower color, flower shape, and other morphological variations. We currently offer physical and chemical mutagenesis. Physical mutagenesis applies γ-ray radiation and spatial mutagenesis for breeding new Phalaenopsis equestris varieties. Radiation mutagenesis is commonly used for 60 Co γ-ray radiation. Chemical mutagenesis is used for the targeted breeding of new varieties, and we aim to breed Phalaenopsis equestris varieties with larger plant flowers, more colorful flowers, and better disease resistance through chemical mutagenesis.

Genetic engineering for breeding

The genetic engineering technology we offer aims to break through the bottlenecks of traditional hybrid breeding. These bottlenecks include long breeding cycles, imprecise targets, incompatible crosses, and a lack of blue and fragrant varieties. This provides a new way to breed Phalaenopsis equestris. Currently, we provide genetic engineering breeding of Phalaenopsis equestris mainly focusing on selecting and breeding blue and fragrant Phalaenopsis equestris varieties because the existing Phalaenopsis equestris varieties only have red, white, yellow, and compound colors, etc., lacking blue and fragrant. Blue or fragrant varieties cannot be obtained by traditional hybrid breeding methods. Currently, the Agrobacterium transformation method provided by us has been effectively used in transgenic Phalaenopsis equestris breeding. In addition, the establishment of the petals transient transformation system and the successful application of the ovary injection method have also provided us with a means for Phalaenopsis equestris genetic engineering breeding.
