Peas (Pisum sativum) rank among the world's most critical leguminous crops, offering multiple nutritional benefits, including high-quality plant protein, abundant dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are widely utilized for human consumption, animal feed, and green manure production. However, traditionally cultivated peas are annual crops that require replanting and tillage each year, thereby increasing agricultural inputs and production costs. Frequent tillage also disrupts soil structure, resulting in the loss of organic matter and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

The breeding objective for perennial peas is to develop varieties capable of continuous multi-year growth, stable flowering and pod-setting, while maintaining high yields and nutritional value. This aims to achieve a green, low-carbon, and resource-efficient agricultural model. Leveraging its deep expertise in perennial plant breeding, Lifeasible is committed to providing reliable solutions and advanced technical support for perennial pea breeding, driving sustainable agricultural research and development.

Advantages of Perennial Pea Breeding

  • Promoting sustainable agricultural development. Perennial pea breeding reduces the machinery, labor, and fuel costs required for replanting, while minimizing soil erosion and water loss to maintain soil health.
  • Enhancing agricultural system resilience. Perennial root systems penetrate deeper into the soil, enabling better utilization of deep water and nutrients. This strengthens drought resistance and improves adaptability to extreme weather and climate fluctuations, thereby helping stabilize yields.
  • Promoting ecological conservation. Perennial vegetation provides longer-lasting ground cover, contributing to increased soil carbon storage, reduced carbon dioxide emissions, and supporting pollinating insects and beneficial biodiversity.

Our Service for Perennial Pea Breeding

Optimization of traditional breeding techniques
  • Precision screening and evaluation of germplasm resources. We have established a comprehensive germplasm repository for perennial peas, rigorously selecting foundation materials and systematically evaluating core traits such as perenniality, yield, quality, and resistance.
  • Hybrid breeding and progeny selection systems. By designing hybrid combinations and leveraging the genetic diversity of perennial peas, we aggregate superior genes through multi-generational directed selection.
Molecular breeding
  • Molecular marker-assisted selection. By developing or utilizing molecular markers tightly linked to target traits, we enable precise screening during the seedling stage, significantly shortening breeding cycles and enhancing selection efficiency.
  • Genetic engineering. We continuously explore introducing superior exogenous genes via transgenic technology or precisely modifying endogenous pea genes using gene editing techniques to create breakthrough new germplasm.
  • Genomics and bioinformatics. Through genome sequencing and resequencing of perennial peas, we construct high-density genetic maps and decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying key traits.
Perennial trait identification We employ technologies such as drone remote sensing, near-ground sensing, and automated imaging to capture phenotypic data non-destructively and at high throughput, including plant growth dynamics, plant height, leaf area, biomass, and stress responses. Combined with AI-driven big data analysis, this enables precision breeding.

Our Technology Platform for Perennial Pea Breeding

  • Intelligent phenotype and genotype analysis platform. We integrate advanced automated greenhouses, climate chambers, molecular laboratories, high-throughput genotyping platforms, and high-throughput phenomics platforms to enable comprehensive, big-data-driven analysis spanning from genes to field performance.
