Lifeasible, a leading provider of biotechnology and scientific research solutions, has announced an expanded service portfolio for detecting plant genetic variation. With advanced tools and diverse methodologies, Lifeasible is empowering agricultural researchers, plant breeders. And conservation biologists to gain deeper insights into genetic diversity, facilitating breakthroughs in crop improvement, biodiversity conservation, and trait analysis.
Crop improvement has been the basis for food security for a growing population. Plant breeding works by exploiting genetic variation among individuals within a plant species and combining desired characteristics into new and improved varieties. Genetic variation is the variation in gene sequences between individuals in a plant population. Allelic variation is the basis of genetic variation and is expressed through different phenotypes. Processes such as mutation, random mating and fertilization, and gene duplication may introduce new genes and alleles that increase genetic variation. Genetic variation provides the basis for plant genetic diversity and reflects the degree/amount of variation present within a population. Without genetic variation, populations would not be able to adapt to different climatic conditions and could easily become extinct. In short, genetic variation is at the root of natural selection and is a crucial driver of the evolution of organisms. At the same time, the estimation of the extent and pattern of genetic variation is a prerequisite for the production of superior varieties. Lifeasible provides comprehensive plant genetic variation testing services to help you develop high-quality crop varieties for clients worldwide.
The ability to detect genetic variation among plant germplasm is essential for crop improvement programs. Helping researchers understand differences and similarities at both phenotypic and molecular levels. Lifeasible now offers a comprehensive suite of detection techniques to accommodate projects of all complexities and budgets:
l Morphological Markers: Leveraging high-throughput phenomics methods, Lifeasible provides detailed documentation of plant morphological traits throughout the growth cycle. From nutrient growth to maturity, high-quality phenotypic data enables the analysis of complex traits such as yield, disease resistance, and reproductive behavior. This cost-effective, measurable approach delivers reliable insights for breeders.
l Cytological Markers: For a deeper examination of chromosome-level variation. Lifeasible offers advanced techniques, including Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Genomic In Situ Hybridization (GISH). These methods detect chromosomal changes, such as shape, size, arm ratio. And DNA content, making it possible to identify genetic composition in natural and artificial hybrids or foreign gene infiltration in plant species.
l Biochemical Markers: Isozyme marker technology is available to detect and analyze genetic variation both within and between plant species. Known for its simplicity, speed, and cost efficiency, this approach is ideal for projects requiring low-level genetic variation detection.
l Molecular Markers: Lifeasible employs a wide range of DNA-based molecular marker techniques, including methods that utilize DNA sequence polymorphisms. With expertise in selecting the most appropriate marker system for each project, Lifeasible ensures high precision and reliability for detecting even subtle genetic differences.
“By combining traditional and cutting-edge methods, our expanded genetic variation detection services are tailored to address the unique needs of agricultural and conservation research,” said Isla, a representative speaker at Lifeasible. “These approaches allow for deeper exploration of plant traits, from basic morphology to DNA-level analysis. Ultimately accelerating crop improvement and supporting food security initiatives.”
Lifeasible’s integrated solutions make it possible to analyze everything from observable plant traits to microscopic genetic variations. Ensuring comprehensive insights into plant germplasm. These advancements are a game-changer for agricultural research. Helping scientists identify favorable traits, enhance disease resistance, and optimize yield potential in critical crops.
