Plant Mitochondrial

Plant mitochondria are the main places for plants to carry out aerobic respiration and provide power for various life activities. Mitochondria have their genetic material and genetic system, but their genome size is limited, and they are semi-autonomous organelles. In recent years, scientists have found that in addition to nuclear inheritance, the genetic information of organelles also has essential research significance. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology and the improvement of bioinformatics algorithms, research on plant mitochondria has attracted more and more attention.

Lifeasible is a high-tech enterprise specializing in providing plant mitochondria-related services. We have established a complete plant molecular biology laboratory equipped with a high level of scientific and technical personnel team, which is a true sense of plant high-tech research and development center. Relying on our advanced gene sequencing technology and extensive data analysis platform, we provide the following services to our customers.

Plant Mitochondrial Genome Sequencing

Mitochondria, as an essential energy-supplying organelle, contain abundant genetic information and are extensively involved in the synthesis, transcription, and replication of plant proteins. We can use Sanger/next-generation/long-read sequencing technologies to complete mitochondrial genome sequencing to assist you in research on species evolution, gene analysis, etc.

Identification of Plant Mitochondrial RNA Editing Sites

Plant mitochondrial RNA editing is a form of post-transcriptional regulation that can alter the amino acid composition of proteins, thereby affecting plant growth, development, and genetic evolution. We have been able to identify RNA editing sites for plants such as Anthoceros, Lycopodium, and Pteridophyta.

Plant Mitochondrial Genome Editing

We used transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) technology with mitochondrial localization signals (mitoTALENs) and the Golden Gate assembly system to edit plant mitochondrial genomes. Ensure the correct editing of target genes in a faster experimental cycle, providing more assistance for studying plant mitochondrial gene function.

Lifeasible focuses on providing technical support for research into the gene function, protein characterization, and genetic traits of plant mitochondria. With nearly 100 plant species available, covering most of the known plant species, Lifeasible has gained a good reputation and high recognition within our client base.
