Overexpression of Plant Genes

INQUIRY

Introductions

Gene overexpression refers to cloning a target gene into a vector carrying elements such as a strong promoter and resistance selection markers; then introducing it into a plant, so that the host cell will obtain a higher level of target mRNA transcription and protein expression; so the function of the gene can be studied through phenotypic analysis. It is suitable for cases where gene functions are redundant or lethal after gene knockout.

Plant transformation refers to the transfer and incorporation of engineered genes or plasmids into the plant genome. It is not only an indispensable biotechnology method for in-depth study of plant growth, but also a promising tool for modern agriculture, especially a tool for introducing and selecting desired crop traits. Some of the most popular plant transformation methods include gene gun delivery, heat / electric shock, microinjection, virus / Agrobacterium / polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation, protoplast fusion and silicon carbide fiber-mediated transformation. The choice of method depends on the target species and the specific research purpose.

Services

Lifeasible has developed a very powerful plant transformation platform that can produce transgenic plants. We provide transient and stable genetic transformation services for a variety of plant species, including model plants, major food crops, economic plants, etc.
