Breeding of Salvia splendens

INQUIRY

Salvia splendens is a perennial herbaceous flower and one of the most significant flowerbed plants. Dwarf Salvia splendens potted plants beautify streets, windowsills, etc., with strong decorative effects. Currently, Salvia splendens has been widely cultivated in many countries around the world, and Salvia splendens seeds are sold annually. It is of great practical importance to breed new varieties of Salvia splendens to meet the demand of the Salvia splendens market for new high-quality varieties.

Lifeasible is committed to providing comprehensive and effective solutions for flowerbed plant breeding. We use mutagenesis breeding, cross-breeding, and combine molecular marker-assisted selection breeding and transgenic breeding, aiming to carry out a series of Salvia splendens breeding work around the breeding objectives of Salvia splendens plant dwarf, strong branching, early flowering, long inflorescence, bright flower color, long ornamental period, and good resistance to adversity.

Breeding of Salvia splendens

Applications of Salvia splendens

  • Ornamental. It is suitable for arranging large flower beds and flower mirrors. It is appropriate for planting in patches at the edge of grasses and on the periphery of trees.
  • Salvia splendens has a strong resistance to pollution and a relatively strong absorption capacity for sulfur and chlorine.
  • Medicinally, the whole plant of Salvia splendens can be used as a medicine, which clears heat and reduces swelling.

What we offer

  • Mutagenesis in breeding

Currently, the EMS mutagenesis we provide has been used in breeding new varieties of Salvia splendens, and the new varieties of Salvia splendens selected have novel flower colors, long ornamental period, and high heat resistance, which greatly meets the demand for the flower color of Salvia splendens in environmental beautification. We provide chemical mutagenesis technology for Salvia splendens breeding. This can significantly reduce traditional hybrid breeding time, and create improved and superior varieties.

Using tissue culture technology can overcome Salvia splendens variety degradation, quality decline, and susceptibility to pests and diseases. We have used tissue culture technology to establish the Salvia splendens tissue culture system and its homozygous tetraploid breeding. This has produced excellent varieties with high resistance, brilliant flower color, a long flowering period, and high ornamental value.

  • Molecular breeding

To improve Salvia splendens' garden use value, it is necessary to create new flower colors. In addition, Salvia splendens is sensitive to temperature changes. When the temperature is higher than 30°C, Salvia splendens grows slower, and the flowers and leaves become smaller. This seriously affects Salvia splendens' ornamental value and reduces its economic benefits.

We aim to breed new Salvia splendens varieties with higher resistance, diverse colors, and beautiful plants. For example, by using antisense RNA technology to suppress the activity of genes regulating phenotypic and resistance-related genes in Salvia splendens. In addition, we have targeted Salvia splendens to obtain heat tolerance by introducing exogenous genes in heat resistant varieties.
