Musa Spp., also known as banana, is one of the important food crops in the world. For most banana producing areas, banana production has long suffered from serious threats such as banana leaf blight, heart rot, wilt, banana leaf spot, and banana aphid. These pests and diseases affect plant growth and are the biggest challenges in banana production. Most banana cultivars are triploid, making it difficult to genetically improve them using traditional breeding methods. The rational usage of transgenic technology for the genetic improvement of bananas is particularly important. The Agrobacterium plasmid gene transformation system is the most established technological approach for plant gene transformation pathways which can be applied to a wide range of resistance screening.
Lifeasible is committed to providing efficient one-stop banana genetic transformation services and will be your best partner in rapid banana breeding. We have an experienced banana gene transformation technology team to ensure the professionalism and accuracy of the whole service process. Our versatile banana gene transformation technology platform is mainly based on the Agrobacterium-mediated method with banana leaves as the starting material. After infesting banana leaves with Agrobacterium, the corresponding antibiotic screening is performed. Subsequently, independent resistant healing tissues are obtained and eventually further differentiated and regenerated into transgenic strains. Our various banana transgenic services are listed below for you to choose from.
Customers can provide constructed banana transformation vectors directly, and Lifeasible also offers vector construction services.
| Concentration | Volume | Other requirements |
| 80-100 ng/μL | ≥10 μL | no degradation & no contamination |
| Bacterial broth | Bacterial plate |
| Bacterial broth up to 1-year-old, preserved in glycerol | Bacterial plate activated within one week |
*For special varieties and customized services, the experiment time and the number of seeds needed may be increased. For this, please contact our staff for more information.
*Plasmids, E. coli, and Agrobacterium require cryopreservation and mailing under dry ice to avoid degradation, inactivation, and impact on experimental results.
*The strains, vectors, and receptor materials used in the experiment can be saved for free for half a year for customers, and you can pick them up at any time if you need them.
The entire banana genetic transformation service is equipped with dedicated experts to provide you with experimental design, experiment customization, experiment operation, project consultation, and progress tracking. Therefore, you can not only contact us at any time to follow up on the progress of your experiments, but we will also inform our clients when the project reaches a critical point. The entire experimental process is standardized and scalable, with the ability to customize individual solutions to meet your needs. All you need to do is to confirm the final experimental protocol in an in-depth discussion with our experts and submit banana samples as required.
Lifeasible's experts have comprehensive knowledge and years of experience solving technical problems and challenges in the musa Spp. transformation. We can provide customized solutions to help you study a wide range of banana varieties. Our services guarantee the success of your project.
