Our breeding platform

  • Hybrid breeding

Hybrid breeding plays a large role in Ruta graveolens L. breeding research. Using this technique, we can create novel Ruta graveolens L. varieties by crossing different genetic types of Ruta graveolens L. varieties. This will combine superior traits in the hybrid progeny and create distinct Ruta graveolens L. varieties through breeding and selection. The most common application of hybrid breeding in Ruta graveolens L. is interspecific crosses. We select individuals that meet the breeding objectives among the many types of Ruta graveolens L. cross progeny for further breeding until we obtain new varieties with stable good traits.

  • Mutagenesis in breeding

In Ruta graveolens L. breeding, we use 60 Co-γ rays for radiation mutagenesis as an effective way to obtain new genetic resources, select new varieties, and solve various special problems, which can induce gene mutations, promote genetic recombination, increase the frequency of Ruta graveolens L. mutations, and create new Ruta graveolens L. types, effectively improving certain individual traits of existing Ruta graveolens L. varieties, and shortening the breeding years.

  • In vitro breeding

In Ruta graveolens L. ex vivo culture, we used tissue culture technology to obtain many tissue culture seedlings by sterilizing the ex vivo embryos and obtaining them through primary culture, secondary culture, strong seedlings, and rooting culture, and transplanting them after refining to achieve rapid propagation of Ruta graveolens L. We designed a series of culture media according to the growth characteristics of Ruta graveolens L., which greatly improved the germination rate of isolated embryos and the reproduction coefficient and rooting rate of tissue culture seedlings. It is easy and simple to cultivate brassica using ex vivo cultivation technology. So far, we have provided plant ex vivo culture systems that provide excellent opportunities for breeding new varieties of ornamental flowers and greatly facilitate the production of the desired flowers.
