Chloroplast biotechnology is a potential technology can be utilized in metabolic engineering and crop improvement. Grain crops provide staple food, feed, fuel and other supplement for human being. For assisting our global customers generating grain crops satisfying human need better, Lifeasible offers gene editing services in chloroplasts of grain crops with professional and comprehensive technology.

Studies in Chloroplasts of Grain Crops

Chloroplast genomes of many grain crops have been sequenced due to the rapid development of molecular biological technology. Gene editing of chloroplasts offers much more advantages, including high-level expression, muti-gene engineering and easily manipulated.

Moreover, chloroplast appears to be an ideal compartment for the accumulation of certain proteins, which would be harmful if they accumulated in the cytoplasm. Due to these features, chloroplast genome has been modified with several useful traits, including insect resistance, herbicide resistance, salt tolerance and phytoremediation ability. Besides, the chloroplast genome has been utilized in biosynthesis field, including producing biomaterials, biofuels, medical compounds and other products.

Typical Grain Crops

Grain crops are rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein, which can be used to produce human food, livestock feed, fuels, and others supplement.

Zea mays

Maize, also known as corn, is one of the most popular cereal grains world-wide. Genetically engineered maize has been widely planted all over the world, including herbicide-tolerant maize, insect-resistant maize and so on.

Oryza sativa

Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the main grain crops and it's a model organism for the botany of cereals as well. By editing genes regulating the process of photosynthesis in chloroplast, researchers can increase yield and quality.

Our Services

Chloroplast genomes of many grain crops have been sequenced, which accelerates the gene functional study of their chloroplast genes. Plants can express introduced exogenous gene stably via chloroplasts.

Lifeasible offers customers genetically modified grain crops with enhanced properties, such as higher tolerance to stresses, higher resistance to disease, higher yields and better quality by integrating functional genes into chloroplasts.

We offers gene editing services in chloroplasts of grain crops, including but not limited as follows.

Gene Knock-out Services in Chloroplasts of Grain Crops

• Single Gene Knock-out Services
  In order to assist our global customers understanding the regulatory mechanism of reactions happen in chloroplasts of grain crops, Lifeasible provide site-specific gene knock-out services.
• Markerless Multiple Gene Knock-out Services
  Lifeasible provides our customers multiple gene knock-out services in chloroplasts of grain crops for studying gene-gene interaction and redundant gene function. Our scientists established a robust toolkit of multiple site-specific recombinases for implementing markerless multiple gene knock-out.

Gene Knock-in Services in Chloroplasts of Grain Crops
