Mentha Canadensis Transformation

Mentha canadensis, also known as mint, is a perennial herb of the genus Mentha in the family Labiatae. Mint leaves emit a fresh aroma and are aromatic crops with special economic value. There is a wide variety of mint, with at least 600 species worldwide. This is mainly due to its adaptability and ability to hybridize and reproduce in its natural environment successfully. Mint has medical and edible functions, with the main edible parts being the stem and leaves. In food, mint is used as a flavoring agent and spice. The whole herb is used as a medicine and contains mainly menthol, which has various properties, including relieving abdominal pain, antiseptic, detoxifying, phlegmolytic, and digestive aid. The selection of highly resistant and high-quality mint varieties using traditional breeding methods is very difficult and time-consuming, resulting in reduced genetic diversity of the crop and loss of beneficial genes. The development of transgenic technology has opened new avenues for improving mint varieties, which can significantly shorten the breeding cycle and achieve targeted improvement of a certain trait.

What We Offer

Lifeasible has a proven mint genetic transformation system that provides large-scale, efficient, and standardized genetic transformation technology services, with projects and trials available on demand at any time of the year. With our versatile transformation platform, we can help our customers obtain transgenic mint plants in a short period of time and with high efficiency. We have mainstream molecular biology laboratory equipment, specialized transgenic technology, and experienced experts to support mint genetic transformation services. Our transformation service is based on the Agrobacterium transformation method, using mint leaves as transgenic recipient material, screening for resistance according to your needs, and finally, differentiating and obtaining the target transgenic mint plants. In addition to providing your vector, you can choose the one you need from the various genetic engineering techniques we offer below.

Service Flow

1. Sample submission requirements

Customers can provide constructed mint transformation vectors directly, and Lifeasible also offers vector construction services.

• Customer-supplied plasmid requirements

• Customer-supplied Agrobacterium requirements (Both Agrobacterium broth and plates are acceptable.)

• Mature seeds within one year ≥ 100

*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.

2. Experimental process that can be followed at any time

The entire mint genetic modification process is staffed with dedicated experts to provide you with project consultation, experiment design, experiment customization, experiment operation, progress tracking, and post-sales feedback. We will not only report the experiments' results regularly so that you are always in control of the experiments, but we will also keep you informed, especially when the project reaches a critical point. The entire experiment process is standardized and scalable, allowing flexibility to customize your solution.

3. Mentha canadensis transformation results delivery

• First, you will receive the T0 positive seedlings that meet your customized needs.
