Chloroplast Engineering in Environment

The unique advantages of chloroplast transformation make it very promising. With the rapid development of chloroplast genetic engineering technology, chloroplast engineering can be applied in various fields to benefit human beings and nature. Based on our extensive experience in the field of chloroplast engineering, researchers have successfully applied chloroplast genetic engineering from theoretical applications to phytoremediation to improve environmental pollution.

Here, Lifeasible is committed to providing global customers with the best solutions for chloroplast engineering in the environment. Our customized solutions will guarantee your 100% satisfaction.

Introduction

With the development of industrialization and urbanization, the content of heavy metals in the environment has increased significantly. These heavy metals cannot be degraded by any biological or physical process and persist in soil for a long time. They can enter the food chain through crops, thereby posing a great threat to human health. The use of physicochemical methods is limited due to high cost, low efficiency, and the introduction of secondary pollution. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop remediation technologies to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils. Phytoremediation is the removal of metal contaminants or their bioavailability in soil by plant-based methods. Chloroplast genetic engineering is a promising technology to genetically modify plants to improve their phytoremediation ability against heavy metal pollution.

Our Solutions

Phytoremediation is protecting the environment in a safe and efficient way. Lifeasible focuses on developing a variety of state-of-the-art methods and technologies to take chloroplast genetic engineering from theoretical research to phytoremediation practice. Our team has a strong interest in the application of chloroplast engineering and hopes to bring more valuable and innovative solutions to people through the chloroplast gene transformation platform.

Our engineers transfer exogenous genes from plants and insert them into the target plant's genome, thereby conferring plant-specific characteristics on the exogenous genes. Furthermore, we can even achieve the transfer of desirable genes from hyperaccumulators into sexually incompatible plant species through chloroplast genetic engineering. With years of experience in chloroplast engineering, Lifeasible is committed to expanding the application of chloroplast engineering in phytoremediation for global customers, and  developing efficient and economical transgenic plants with desired traits for phytoremediation to improve the environment. Our chloroplast engineering solutions for phytoremediation of the environment are proven and you can choose with confidence. Our chloroplast engineering solutions in the environment include but are not limited to:

• Phytoremediation of Mercury in Chloroplast Transgenic Plants
• Phytoremediation of Cadmium in Chloroplast Transgenic Plants
• Preventing Pollen from Spreading Pollution

Advantages of Chloroplast Engineering in Environment

• Phytoremediation revegetates heavy metal-contaminated soil in a cost-effective manner.
• Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly approach.
• Phytoremediation can be applied on a large scale and is easy to handle.
• Phytoremediation reduces the risk of contaminant spread by stabilizing heavy metals against erosion and metal leaching.
• Phytoremediation improves soil fertility by releasing various organic matter into the soil.
• Genetic engineering has the advantage of modifying plants with desirable traits in less time than traditional breeding.
• Achieving phytoremediation that cannot be achieved through traditional breeding methods such as hybridization.

Lifeasible has successfully used chloroplast transformation technology for abiotic and biotic stress tolerant plants, vaccines, biomaterials, biopharmaceuticals, phytoremediation and more. Here, we provide reliable, economical solutions for chloroplast engineering in environment. Each project will be customized according to customer requirements and provide 24h after-sales service.
