Introductions

Oryza sativa Transformation

Rice is an important cereal crop of annual gramineous family, herbaceous rice genus, and monocot. Its Latin name is Oryza sativa. It likes high temperature, high humidity and short daylight. Rice has the following characteristics, so it is used as a model plant in monocots.

  • Self-pollinating, 24 chromosomes, diploid plant
  • The genome sequence is known, with a smaller genome
  • Easy to cultivate and grow faster
  • A mature Agrobacterium-mediated rice genetic transformation system has been established
  • High collinearity with other cereals

As a model plant, rice is often used for research on gene function and regulation, aiming to improve agronomic traits, such as enhancing resistance to biotic or abiotic stress.

Services

Lifeasible has established a rice transformation platform through Agrobacterium-mediated method. The platform has a complete, large-scale, standardized technical system, and provides professional and convenient technologies for rice genetic transformation for agricultural personnel who serve rice as the research object.

Customer provided materials

  • The sequence of the target gene and the Gene Bank ID
  • Plasmids, Agrobacterium, etc.
  • Vector to be transformed (conventional vector can also be provided by us)
  • Unconventional receptor material

※ If the gene to be modified is a gene related to abortion, lethality, or development, or flowering, we cannot guarantee the results and cycle of the experiment.

Receptor material

  • Recipient material varieties:
  • Japonica varieties: Zhonghua 11, Nipponbare, Nipponbare, Akdong, Suweon330, Anjungbyeo, Taipei309, Cheniere and Katy, etc.

    Indica varieties:  Indica rice 9311, Minghui86, Minghui63, Kasalath, ASD16, White Ponni, BR29 and IR64, etc.

  • Recipient material types: rice callus

Transformation methods

  • Co-cultivation of Agrobacterium and callus obtained from mature seeds.
  • Co-cultivation of Agrobacterium and immature embryos.
  • Co-cultivation of rice callus and Agrobacterium on filter paper infiltrated with liquid medium
  • Co-cultivation of Agrobacterium and suspension cells.
  • The apical embryonic tissues of the mature seeds after soaking are punctured with a needle and then co-cultured with Agrobacterium. The inoculated seeds can grow directly into plants and then set seeds without the process of tissue culture.
  • In-situ dip flower method.

Workflow of rice transformation

  • Vector construction
  • Induction and subculture of rice recipient callus
  • Agrobacterium-mediated rice genetic transformation
  • Screen positive genetically modified seeds
  • Differentiation of positive callus into shoots
  • Strong plantlets and rootage of regenerated green seedlings
  • PCR detection of foreign genes in T0 generation transgenic seedlings

Feedback to customers

  • Complete experimental methods, original experimental records, instrument parameters, reagents and consumables information
  • Some pictures of genetic transformation and screening
  • Picture of some samples of callus differentiation and regeneration
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis image of foreign gene PCR detection of T0 generation transgenic seedlings
  • T0 generation transgenic vaccine: If we use the vector and recipient provided by us, the T0 generation positive vaccine for each transformation experiment is ≥12; 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

Online order — Confirm order / experimental material — Conduct experiment — Make a report — Express genetically modified seeds or seedling according to customer requirements
