Introductions

Gossypium hirsutum Transformation -Lifeasible

Cotton is the seed fiber of gossypium plants of the Malvaceae family, and its scientific name is Gossypium hirsutum. It is not only important fiber crops, oil crops and high-protein food crops, but also textiles, fine chemical raw materials and important strategic materials. As the growth and development of cotton will be adversely affected by biotic and abiotic stresses such as virus and fungal infection, insect predation and drought stress, its yield and quality will decrease. With the deepening of molecular biology research and the gradual maturity of plant transgenic technology, genetic engineering can be used to genetically improve cotton. Genetic engineering technology can keep the other traits of the variety relatively stable, and only change the traits controlled by the foreign gene. For example, transgenic cotton plants expressing the Bt gene (a gene encoding Bt toxin) can produce natural insecticides to combat certain major pests, and have been successfully used in many countries.

Services

Lifeasible has established a cotton genetic transformation platform, providing a variety of transformation systems for researchers who use cotton as their research objects. We have an experienced team that can help you solve technical problems and help your project succeed.

Customer provided materials

  • If only gene sequence information (or Gene Bank ID) is provided, our company can undertake gene amplification and vector construction services, which are charged separately.
  • Construct a vector of Escherichia coli, plasmid or Agrobacterium, but provide clear resistance information for screening.
  • Unconventional receptor material.

※ We do not accept the transformation service of lethal genes or severely defective genes. If there are any of the above, please inform our company in advance.

Transformation methods

  • Agrobacterium-mediated transformation
  • Biolistic particle delivery system
  • Pollen tube pathway mediated transformation
  • Silicon carbide whiskers -mediated transformation

Methods of Gossypium hirsutum Transformation - Lifeasible

Receptor material

  • Recipient species
  • Coker series, AcalaB1654, TM-1, Jin7, Zhongmian12, Narasimha, Si Mian3, etc.

  • Recipient types
  • Explants such as hypocotyls, cotyledonary petiole or shoot apex. 

    Embryogenic callus derived from hypocotyls, cotyledonary petiole, or cell suspension cultures.

Feedback to customers

  • Complete experimental methods, original experimental records, instrument parameters, reagents and consumables information.
  • Vector construction sequencing report and pictures.
  • Pictures of explant infection, induced callus, embryogenic callus, tissue differentiation, plant regeneration, etc.
  • Gel electrophoresis diagram of PCR detection of target genes in T0 generation regenerated plants
  • T0 generation transgenic vaccine: If we use the vector and recipient provided by us, the T0 generation positive vaccine for each transformation experiment is ≥8; if the customer needs to use other vectors and recipients, we usually only promise to get the T0 generation positive vaccine 6-8 strains.

Service process

Service Process of Gossypium hirsutum Transformation - Lifeasible

Project cycle

  • It takes about 10~12 months from the construction of the vector to the test results of the T0 generation transgenic seedlings. And experiments can be carried out throughout the year.

Advantages

  • We have 4 cotton genetic transformation methods to meet your different needs.
  • We have a standard cotton differentiation and transformation system with stable emergence and high positive rate.
  • We have a large-scale, standardized seedling system to ensure the success rate of experimental transformation.
  • We have a variety of labeled vectors and media to provide you with a wide range of choices.
  • Personalized customized package service.
  • Perfect service support. Provide professional technical consultation and guidance in the early stage to optimize the project; communicate at any time during the experiment to keep abreast of the progress; after the project is completed, provide complete results according to the contract.

※ It should be noted that our service is only used for research.
