Lifeasible Added New Service Offerings for Plant Breeding Research Lifeasible, a biotechnology company offering expertise in plant breeding service for accelerating production of plants with higher productivity and nutritional values, recently added new service offerings to assist scientists with their research needs from traditional breeding to modern molecular breeding. Plant breeding is the science of developing new kinds by modifying the plant genome, which speeds up the creation of plants with desired qualities such as increased productivity, nutritional value, and enhanced resistance to drought and disease. Plant breeding is being used not only for crop variety development, but also for industrial uses such as fiber, fuel, shelter, and landscaping. Plant breeding can be achieved using a variety of strategies, including trait selection, mutation introduction, plant tissue culture (e.g., embryo rescue, haploid breeding, etc.), and molecular genome editing techniques (e.g., marker-assisted breeding). Supported by a team of skilled experts with rich experience in the exploration and optimization of advanced modern breeding methods, Lifeasible now proudly offers competitive short-turn-around plant breeding services in a wide range of plant species, including major food crops, economic plants, and bio-energy feedstock plants. Service range include: Marker Discovery and Development Service QTL and Association Mapping Service Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) Plant Breeding Service Positional Cloning Service Marker-Assisted Breeding Service Mutation Breeding Service Embryo Rescue Service Haploidization Service Polyploidization Service Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) Service High Resolution Multiple SNP Arrays Forestry Breeding Service Brief introduction about one of the newly released service, High Resolution Multiple SNP Arrays: Through targeted integration technology, Lifeasible has successfully built a highresolution multi-SNP (multiple single-nucleotide-polymorphism cluster) detection system. This technology is widely utilized in many industries, including animal and plant genetic breeding, and can replace solid-phase chips and other molecular detection technologies that rely on expensive instrumentation. “Supported by decades of dedicated work for the exploring and optimizing of advanced
modern breeding methods, we will continually update and enlarge our offering for plant breeding research needs.” Said Isla, one of the representative speakers from Lifeasible.
