Perennial Rice Breeding Services

INQUIRY

Perennial rice breeding involves developing rice varieties that can grow continuously over numerous years without annual replanting, contrasting with traditional rice cultivation practices that yield one or various harvests per year. Perennial rice can sustain growth through vegetative propagation, reducing farmers' cultivation costs and environmental pressure. Research in perennial rice breeding holds significant importance for ensuring food production, maintaining ecological security, and reducing labor input. Lifeasible is an industry leader in perennial crop breeding, specializing in perennial rice breeding and committed to providing advanced, reliable solutions for overcoming challenges in perennial rice breeding.

Advantages of Perennial Rice Breeding

  • Reduce planting costs and labor. Perennial rice significantly lowers farmers' labor input and agricultural production costs.
  • Minimize environmental impact. Eliminating annual tillage reduces soil disturbance, thereby protecting soil structure and ecological environments.
  • Improve resource utilization efficiency. It enhances the utilization of soil nutrients and moisture, increasing resource efficiency.
  • Achieve sustainable agriculture. The promotion of perennial rice contributes to building sustainable agricultural systems.

Our Service for Perennial Rice Breeding

Utilization of wild germplasm resources and distant hybridization

By crossing cultivated Asian rice with wild Oryza rufipogon, we introduced genes for rhizome development. Combined with embryo rescue techniques to overcome reproductive barriers, we created perennial germplasm resources.

Molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS)

Using molecular markers such as SSR and SNP, we precisely screen individuals carrying perennial trait genes to accelerate backcross breeding.

Gene editing technologies

  • Gene knock-in or knock-out. By editing key genes regulating tillering and rhizome development, we enhance perennial traits and stress tolerance.
  • Polygenic co-editing. We synchronously edit multiple trait genes using specific gene editing systems to achieve trait aggregation.

Genome selection and high-throughput phenotyping

  • We employ high-throughput chips for genome-wide prediction to screen superior individual plants.
  • Integrate RGB imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and LiDAR technologies on high-throughput platforms to automatically capture trait data for non-destructive, efficient phenotyping.

Tissue culture and rapid breeding

We continuously optimize in vitro plant culture techniques, shortening breeding cycles through another culture and somatic embryogenesis. Combined with controlled environments, this accelerates generation turnover.
