Introductions

Nicotiana tabacum Transformation -Lifeasible

Tobacco, whose scientific name is Nicotiana tabacum L., is an annual or limited perennial herb of the solanaceae and nicotiana genus. It originated in tropical and subtropical America. It is a rich source of the alkaloid nicotine and has long been used as a herbal medicine and stimulant. So far, tobacco has been grown worldwide. It is not only a major cash crop, but also a model plant for studying plant genetics, molecular biology and cell biology. Because tobacco is easy to tissue culture and has high gene transformation efficiency, tobacco is an important model plant in plant genetic engineering and molecular biology research.

Services

Lifeasible has established a tobacco genetic transformation platform with a multi-temperature greenhouse system and a mature seedling system. Use mature tobacco varieties to provide large-scale, standardized genetic modification technology services. Tobacco genetic transformation adopts Agrobacterium-mediated leaf disc infection method, gene gun bombardment method and PEG-mediated transformation method, with high infection efficiency, and enough positive seedlings can be obtained in one transformation, save time and cost for scientific research workers.

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.

Service process

Service Process of Nicotiana tabacum Transformation - Lifeasible

Project cycle

  • It takes about 4 months.

Advantages

  • It adopts Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, which is fast, efficient, stable, single-copy insertion, and is not limited by genotype.
  • For commonly used tobacco varieties, sufficient sterile seedlings are prepared all year round, and transformation experiments can be carried out at any time to save customers' time.
  • 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.
