Gene Editing in Spodoptera Frugiperda

Spodoptera frugiperda is a species in the order Lepidoptera and one of the species of the fall armyworm moths distinguished by their larval life stage. It is regarded as a pest and can damage and destroy a wide variety of crops, which causes large economic damage. Some examples of targeted crops include cotton, tobacco, sweet corn, rice, peanuts, and even fruits such as apples, oranges, and many more，so crop damage is wide-ranging. Because of its propensity for destruction, the fall armyworm's habits and possibilities for crop protection have been studied in depth, which includes editing specific genes to control this pest and thus increase crop yields.

Our Services for Gene Editing in Spodoptera Frugiperda

The larvae of spodoptera frugiperda have a wide range of diets and can feed on more than 76 families and more than 350 species of plants, among which are mainly Gramineae, Compositae and Legumes, and adults feed on the nectar of a variety of plants, resulting in huge damage. Lifeasible provides the service of gene editing for the larvae and adults of spodoptera frugiperda with zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) and CRISPR/Cas9 to control this type of pest.

Our Methods for Gene Editing in Spodoptera Frugiperda

• ZFNs

Lifeasible offers ZFNs to knockout the gene of spodoptera frugiperda. We can achieve precise insertion, deletion or substitution of gene sequences like pesticide-resistant genes and genital development related genes of the larvae and adults in spodoptera frugiperda using ZFNs.

• TALEN

Lifeasible offers TALEN to edit these specific genes like pesticide-resistant in larvae of spodoptera frugiperda. We make the TALENs be designed to bind to almost any desired DNA sequence according to your needs to reduce the number of larvae and protect crops.

• CRISPR/Cas9

Lifeasible provides CRISPR/Cas9 mainly to edit embryonic development-related genes such as SfAntp, SfUbx and SfAbd-B in ovine of spodoptera frugiperda to produced severe embryonic lethal effects. We also use this technology to edit the gene related to genital development and pesticide-resistant in larvae and reproduction-related gene in adults efficiently.

Advantages

We can target specific sequence according to any needs in spodoptera frugiperda through TALEN. We can also edit embryonic development-related genes and these genes related to pesticide-resistant, genital development and the reproduction-related genes to reduce the to reduce the number of these larvae spodoptera frugiperda of that can cause significant damage to crops.

Based on these services advantages described above, Lifeasible provides gene editing services in spodoptera frugiperda and later services to reduce the number of larvae and the birth rate of larvae to protect crops.
