Asteraceae Propagation

Asteraceae is the first major family of angiosperms, with more than 1,000 genera and 2,000 species. There are many important ornamental, oil, edible and medicinal plants in Asteraceae. Most of the plants in Asteraceae have heterogeneous pollination characteristics, and it is difficult to obtain pure lines by the traditional method of continuous self-crossing, and the conventional breeding method requires multiple generations of self-cross selection to obtain a genetically stable and pure self-cross line, and the breeding period is long.

What We Offer

  • Haploid breeding in Asteraceae

Lifeasible provides the haploid culture of Asteraceae, which can become pure diploid by chromosome doubling in one generation, improving breeding efficiency and making it possible to breed plants with obvious selfing decline phenomenon using pure lines by completely or partially avoiding the loss of useful genes in the long-term selfing process.

  • Virus detection and detoxification of Asteraceae plants

Lifeasible has refined and improved the virus detection of Asteraceae based on the traditional detection methods, and the detection speed and accuracy have been greatly improved.

At present, we provide virus detection techniques for Chrysanthemum, including biological detection, electron microscopy detection, molecular biology detection, and serological detection.

The methods we use to detoxify Asteraceae mainly include stem tip tissue culture detoxification method, heat treatment combined with stem tip tissue culture detoxification method, chemical treatment detoxification method, ultra-low temperature combined with stem tip tissue culture detoxification method, etc.

We Do Better

Lifeasible has a complete cultivation system of Asteraceae and rich experience in plant detoxification. We use stem tip, stem segment, lateral bud, leaf, peduncle, peduncle, petal, cotyledon, hypocotyl, and other organs to produce regenerated plants, and we guarantee the production of high-quality plants. We can effectively detoxify more than 10 types of viruses that attack Asteraceae plants to meet our customers' production needs.
