Why Breed Disease-resistant Flax?

Flax is a dicotyledonous plant, an annual herb of linum in the Linaceae family. It is suitable for growing in the region of 37° ~ 55° north latitude. Flax is an important fiber and oil crop in northern Africa. Flax production in flax growing area was reduced by 10% ~ 30% due to fungal diseases. In addition, flax is a densely planted crop, chemical weeding is an essential link in flax cultivation, but the use of herbicides will affect the yield and quality of flax. Therefore, it should be the theme of flax breeding research to use molecular breeding strategy to improve flax characters in the aspects of resistance to environmental stress, resistance to fungal disease, resistance to herbicide. With the development of molecular biotechnology and genetic engineering technology, molecular breeding of flax will develop rapidly and more resistant varieties will be bred.

Breeding Services for Disease-resistant Flax

Many diseases (including powdery mildew, anthrax and fusarium wilt, etc.) can cause large-scale yield reduction of flax, so it is urgent to improve the disease resistance of flax. With the rapid development of plant genome sequencing, people have been able to mine, compare and analyze important gene families and predict their functions at the genome level. Lifeasible provides several strategies to accelerate the process of flax breeding for disease resistance.

• Sequencing-based Breeding

Through DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing, single-celled sequencing, epigenetics sequencing, proteomics and metabonomics analysis, we help customers gain a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of flax disease resistance genes, thus accelerating the research on flax disease-resistant gene cloning and disease-resistant mechanism, and providing theoretical basis for plant disease resistance breeding.

• Plant Genetic Engineering

We established a genetic engineering service platform to obtain transgenic plants through agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. In addition, gene gun method, direct conversion method, microinjection method and pollen-tube pathway method are also important genetic transformation methods of flax. Then, the good genotypic recombinants will be selected to improve flax characters.

• SNP Analysis Service

We use single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis to provide a comprehensive genomic view to detect SNPS and other variants on a genome-wide scale, enabling the identification of potential pathogenic variants in flax for targeted studies.
