Introductions

Zea mays Transformation -Lifeasible

Corn is an annual herb of the Gramineae and Zea genus, with the Latin name Zea mays (L.). Maize is a monoecious cross-pollinated plant with tall plants and strong stalks. It is an important food crop and fodder crop, and has high nutritional and economic value. However, due to its relatively complex heritability and rich varieties of variation, there are shortcomings in the conventional Breeding process such as too long cycle, too large coefficient of variation, and affecting the growth and development of offspring. Modern biological breeding technology not only overcomes the above shortcomings, but also improved breeding speed and quality. With the development and application of genetic modification technology in modern agriculture, people have bred genetically modified corn with herbicide resistance, insect resistance, drought tolerance, and high carbohydrate content.

Services

Lifeasible has established a Zea mays transformation platform through Agrobacterium-mediated method and biolistic-mediated method. The platform has a complete, large-scale, standardized technical system, and provides professional and convenient technologies for maize genetic transformation for agricultural personnel who serve maize 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

※ 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.

Receptor material

  • Recipient material varieties
  • Inbred lines: A188, A634, H99, W117, Y423, PHR03, Mo17, B104, B114, Ky21, etc.
    Hybrid line: Hi-II

  • Recipient material types: immature embryo, mature embryo

Workflow of maize transformation

  • Vector construction
  • Induction and subculture of Maize recipient callus
  • Agrobacterium-mediated or biolistic-mediated of maize genetic transformation
  • Screening
  • 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

Service Process of Zea mays Transformation - Lifeasible

Project cycle

It takes 5-6 months from the construction of the vector to the test results of the T0 generation transgenic seedlings. And experiments can be carried out throughout the year.
