Agronomic Traits Expressed via Chloroplast Engineering

The unique advantages of chloroplast transformation make it have broad application prospects. With the rapid development of chloroplast genetic engineering technology, it can be applied in various fields to benefit human beings and nature. Based on our rich experience in the field of chloroplast engineering, researchers have successfully applied chloroplast genetic engineering from theoretical applications to the transformation of agronomic traits.

Here, Lifeasible is committed to providing global customers with the best solutions for agronomic traits modification through plastid genomes. Our customized solutions will guarantee your 100% satisfaction.

Introduction

Every year, a large number of crops die worldwide due to biotic and abiotic threats. In addition, as the world's population increases, so does the demand for crops. The advent of the genomic era has made it possible to enhance or modify crop agronomic traits through the nuclear and chloroplast genomes. The unique advantages of chloroplast genetic engineering show great potential. Many important agronomic traits have been engineered through plastid genomes, such as herbicide resistance, drought and salt tolerance, insect resistance, pathogen resistance, nitrogen fixationetc, nutrition and cytoplasmic male sterility. Additionally, chloroplasts are even engineered for the remediation of toxic chemicals in the environment. At present, 40 transgenic genes have obtained important agronomic traits through the stable integration and expression of the tobacco chloroplast genome.

Our Solutions

Due to high levels of gene expression and maternal inheritance, the chloroplast is one of the most suitable organelles for the improvement of many agronomic traits. Lifeasible is focused on developing a variety of state-of-the-art methods and technologies to apply chloroplast genetic engineering to herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and tolerance to other biotic and abiotic stresses. Our team has a strong interest in the research field of chloroplast engineering endows stress tolerance, and hopes to bring more valuable and innovative solutions to people through the chloroplast gene transformation platform.

Our engineers have successfully introduced broad-spectrum agronomic traits including herbicide resistance, insect resistance, pathogen resistance, drought and salt tolerance, nitrogen fixation in the chloroplast genomes of various crops (tobacco, potato, tomato, etc.). With years of experience in chloroplast engineering, Lifeasible is committed to transforming agronomic traits through chloroplast engineering, improving the plant's ability to tolerate stress, water retention, and nutrient absorption, thereby increasing its yield. Our chloroplast engineering solutions for agronomic traits are proven and you can choose with confidence. Here, we can provide solutions for agronomic traits via chloroplast engineering including:

• Chloroplast Engineering of Herbicide Resistance

Advantages of Chloroplast Engineering in Biopharmaceuticals

• Expressing the transgene in the chloroplast is safer and accepted by the public.
• The resulting transgenic crops are far more resistant to environmental stress than conventional genetically transformed crops.
• The engineering of chlorophyll agro-physics gene product engineering has great potential to improve the salt stress resistance of tall plants.
• Chloroplast transgenic transformation of many important crops can be achieved.
• The transmutation system showed an increase in leaf area, height, biomass and internode length.

Lifeasible has successfully used chloroplast transformation technology for abiotic and biotic stress tolerant plants, vaccines, biomaterials, biopharmaceuticals, phytoremediation and more.
