Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos, G. triacanthos) is a legume native to central North America. G. triacanthos has utilization value in many aspects and has low soil requirements. It has been widely planted in Asia, South America, Africa, and other regions. It is an essential deciduous tree species.
G. triacanthos wood is hard and rot-resistant and can be used as a high-quality wood for shipbuilding, agricultural implements, and housing construction. In terms of combustion energy supply, G. triacanthos has a high calorific value and slow combustion speed and is a fuel wood that has attracted much attention. At the same time, it has luxuriant branches and leaves and a strong fragrance during the flowering period, which has good garden landscape value, and the branches and leaves can be used as livestock feed and green manure. It is an excellent nectar source tree species and fodder tree species. Therefore, the selection and breeding of excellent G. triacanthos species have been the focus of the long-term attention of various countries.
Based on our mature plant breeding platform, the Gleditsia triacanthos breeding service provided by Lifeasible is fast, accurate, and can save your cost to the greatest extent, and widely recognized by many customer groups.
Hundreds of high-quality G. triacanthos species have been bred in Europe in the early part of the last century. With the development of time, to meet the production and consumption needs of feed and biomass energy timber forests in different regions, the selection of G. triacanthos with good dry shape, fast growth rate, and high yield has become a research hotspot. Lifeasible reserves the plant breeding technology and biological information library, which can provide customers with comprehensive choices to help customers complete their breeding work.
The G. triacanthos clone breeding program includes four stages: selection of superior trees, colonization, propagation of superior trees, multi-point testing of clones, and evaluation of clones. Finally, tree species with fast growth rate, resistance to pests and diseases, hardwood, and harsh climate are selected.
The seeds of the selected G. triacanthos excellent strain were chosen as materials, and the polyploid G. triacanthos plants were obtained by immersion treatment with an aqueous solution of colchicine with a concentration of 0.4% by mass. The tetraploid G. triacanthos plants were obtained. It has the advantages of fast growth, strong resistance to stress, large biomass, and high nutritional value.
Using SSR technology to establish G. triacanthos DNA fingerprints and screen G. triacanthos tree species with specific genes can significantly shorten the breeding time, improve the selection accuracy of high-quality G. triacanthos varieties and reduce the breeding cost.
