Chestnut Anthracnose-Resistant Breeding

INQUIRY

Chestnut anthracnose is one of the most important diseases of chestnut, which often occurs in chestnut producing areas, seriously threatening the yield and quality of chestnut, and leading to serious reduction of chestnut production, and in severe cases, even the extinction of the harvest, which brings huge economic losses to the chestnut industry, so it is of great practical significance to carry out the research on chestnut anthracnose. Lifeasible specializes in chestnut anthracnose resistance breeding research, and we have established an advanced technology platform further to accelerate the progress of chestnut anthracnose resistance research.

Symptoms of Chestnut Anthracnose

Chestnut anthracnose is a disease that occurs on chestnut caused by Glomerella cingulata infestation. As the main disease of chestnut, anthracnose will cause a lot of fruit rot, seed kernel rot and inedible, but also harm the new shoots and leaves, resulting in chestnut leaves fall early, shoots and young pole death and chestnut fruit mold, seriously affecting the yield and quality of chestnut.

Genetic transformation system construction

Efficient transformation technology. We combined Agrobacterium rhizogenes with plant expression vectors for efficient genetic transformation of chestnut. We optimize the conditions of infestation, co-culture, and screening to obtain transgenic tissues that stably express the target genes.

Disease resistance gene mining and transgenesis

Disease resistance gene mining. We provide genetic localization, cloning, and transformation of anthracnose resistance genes in chestnut. Since the expression of disease resistance genes is activated when chestnut plants are attacked by anthracnose, we can help researchers to excavate the relevant genes and verify the function of disease resistance genes.

Exogenous gene introduction. Our expert team has conducted in-depth research on the disease resistance mechanism of chestnut, and by transferring antifungal genes into chestnut, we can obtain chestnuts with enhanced resistance to anthracnose.

Gene editing

We use gene editing technology to improve chestnut anthracnose resistance by editing receptor genes. For example, we investigate breeding disease-resistant varieties by targeting and editing anthrax susceptibility genes or enhancing disease-resistance-related genes (e.g., genes coding for disease-resistance proteins).

In addition, we have provided the identification of Colletotrichum fructicola, the fruit-borne anthracnose bacterium that causes internal rot in chestnuts, and helped researchers analyze its genetic characteristics and environmental adaptations.
