Momordica charantia Transformation

Momordica charantia Transformation

Momordica charantia is an annual climbing herb, native to Indonesia, and now cultivated all over the world, Momordica charantia has good medicinal value, food value, ornamental value, etc. For example, Momordica charantia juice has a good hypoglycemic effect. Momordica charantia has good medicinal value, edible value, ornamental value, etc. For example, Momordica charantia juice has good hypoglycemic effect, and Momordica charantia vine has decorative value, and urban residents with courtyard are often planted on their initiative. Promoting the genetic transformation of Momordica charantia will have a positive impact on the utilization of Momordica charantia genetic resources and the cultivation of high-quality varieties. Lifeasible is committed to plant genetic transformation, and we have advanced transformation platforms and professional knowledge of gene transformation. We are always at the forefront of plant genetic transformation technology, aiming to provide efficient and reliable Momordica charantia genetic transformation technical support services.

What do we offer?

  • Selection and preparation of explants. We need to select suitable exosomes, such as hypocotyls or petiole segments of Momordica charantia seedlings. And sterilize the exosomes to reduce the risk of microbial contamination.
  • Establishment of the genetic transformation system. In the establishment of the Momordica charantia genetic transformation system, we utilized Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or bioballistic particle delivery (biolistic particle delivery) technology to deliver vectors containing the target genes into Momordica charantia cells via Agrobacterium or gold particles.
  • Post-transformation processing. This process involves placing the transformed explants in a suitable medium that provides the necessary nutrients and hormones to promote cell proliferation and regeneration. Screening is done based on the selective agents used to ensure that only transformed cells can grow.
  • Regeneration and characterization. Transformed cells were regenerated under suitable conditions to form healing tissues, which differentiated into regenerated plants. Subsequently, we detected and confirmed the integration and expression of exogenous genes by molecular biology methods (e.g., PCR, Southern hybridization).
  • Culture and analysis of transgenic plants. We transferred the regenerated transgenic plants to a greenhouse or a suitable growth environment for further culture. The transgenic plants were also analyzed phenotypically, physiologically, and biochemically to assess the performance of the improved traits.

Momordica charantia transformation technology platform

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation
  • Genetic transformation was achieved by Agrobacterium infestation of Momordica charantia seedlings using binary vectors containing Developmental Regulators (DRs).
  • Agrobacterium strain GV3101 was utilized, and the concentration of Agrobacterium was adjusted to OD600=0.8 to obtain a high induction efficiency.

Bio-ballistic particle delivery technique

  • DNA was encapsulated using 0.6 µm gold particles and delivered into Momordica charantia cells via a bioballistic particle delivery system.
  • Helium pressure and target tissue distance were optimized to increase transformation efficiency.
