Genetic Transformation
Our lab has developed genetic transformation pipelines for the following species:
-
Petunia (Mitchell)
-
Tobacco (all genotypes)
-
Tomato (most genotypes)
-
Potato (Solalum tuberosome L. cv. ‘Russet Burbank")
-
Chili Pepper (Red Rocket)
-
Sweet Pepper ( California Wonder and other commercial varieties)
-
Brasscia Family ( B. rapa cv. Bok Choy, cv. pekinensis, B.napus, Brassica oleracea var. italica)
-
Snapdragon (JI7, SIPPE50, and some potted commercial varieties)
-
Lettuce (all genotypes)
-
Grape (V. vinifera cv. ‘Thompson Seedless’)
-
Soybean (Willams82)
Other services:
-
protocol development for micropropagation
-
protocol development for genetic transformation
​
For genetic transformation (overexpression and silencing) and gene editing: T1 segregated seeds from T0 plants will be recommended for research purposes. Only our own plasmid will be used for some species such as pepper and snapdragon; for other plant species, our plasmid will be also highly recommended.
