Detection of Transgenic Plant

Detection of Transgenic Plant

Lifeasible provides professional transgenic plant detection services for global customers to ensure that your genetically modified products follow the laws and regulations.

What Are Transgenic Plants?

Transgenic plants are plants in which genes bearing target traits are modified through genetic engineering techniques and then introduced into the genome of the recipient plant. These exogenously transferred target genes can be stably inherited in the offspring and enable the transgenic plants to produce new agronomic traits, such as insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, stress resistance, disease resistance, improved crop nutrition and quality, etc.

At present, agricultural transgenic plants such as transgenic cotton, tomatoes, sweet peppers, papaya, soybeans, rice, and corn are increasingly entering people's lives. Meanwhile, the safety of transgenic plants has aroused widespread concern worldwide, and the demand for transgenic plant testing technology has become more and more urgent. They have various safety hazards of proliferation and contamination, which is the bottleneck of whether GM crops can be approved for commercial production at present.

Detection of Transgenic Plant

Our Solutions

The safety of transgenic plants requires a safety assessment of transgenic plants, and detecting transgenic plants is one of the keys to safety assessment. As an expert in plant breeding, Lifeasible provides solutions for a wide range of transgenic plants and their products. Depending on the type of transgenic plants, we can refer to different standards to meet the various needs of our clients. Each stage of the analysis is carried out in a different laboratory to avoid any risk of contamination. A strict quality policy ensures the reliability of the analysis.

Our transgenic plant detection services include but are not limited to:
