Our company uses advanced genotyping methods such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), GBS, whole genome sequencing, and 1M position chip sequencing, PCR to accurately determine the genetic profile of your plants. We offer excellent genotyping quality with an accuracy of over 99%. This allows us to identify polymorphisms, mutations and genetic markers that may be associated with certain plant properties such as yield, disease resistance, adaptation to different growing conditions and other agriculturally significant traits.
The results of genotyping will allow you to optimize and speed up the selection process by 2-3 times, increase the yield, stability and quality of your products.
Genotyping opens up new opportunities for high-speed selection, allowing you to:
Quickly and accurately identify the desired genetic markers and traits in plants at the early stages of their development, which significantly reduces the time required for selection.
Determine how certain traits may manifest in offspring, which reduces the need for lengthy field trials.
Reduce the number of planted specimens through precise selection, which reduces costs for land, water and other resources, and uses available areas most efficiently.
Identify varieties that are resistant to diseases and adverse conditions, which reduces the risk of losses and increases yields.
Create targeted breeding programs, which increases the efficiency of selection.
Why it is profitable:
Saving time and money: fast selection and lower resource costs.
Increased yield: selection and production of the most productive and adapted varieties.
Competitiveness: rapid development and introduction of new varieties allows you to quickly respond to market demands and needs.
Yield markers: Identify genes and alleles associated with yield.
Disease resistance markers: Identify the presence of genetic markers responsible for resistance to various diseases, helping you create plants with increased resilience to pathogens:
Resistance or tolerance to fungal diseases: such as pea root rot, ascochyta blight in peas, anthracnose, downy mildew in peas, white rot/sclerotinia, rust, fusarium (fusarium wilt, yellowing, fusarium rot), alternaria/black rot/brown leaf spots, cercospora, target leaf spot, brown spot (cladosporium), downy mildew, false powdery mildew, true powdery mildew, phytophthora, stemphylium/black rot, rhizoctonia/root rot, verticillium, stem helminthosporiosis, corn leaf helminthosporiosis, alternaria stem canker in tomatoes, gray leaf spot, corking of tomato roots, verticillium wilt, moniliosis, scab, fomopsis, cercospora root rot, common helminthosporium root rot, snow mold, fusarium root rot, fusarium leaf and stem spot, stem rust, net spot, striped spot, pyrenophora (yellow spot), red-brown spot, septoria, rhynchosporiosis (marginal spot), fusarium of heads and grains, dusty rust, ergot, hard rust, and others that may affect your plants.
Bacterial disease resistance: such as halo blight, bacterial brown spot, bacterial leaf rot, bacterial wilt, cucumber angular leaf spot, brown bacterial rot of potatoes, black bacterial spot in tomatoes, Stewart's wilt/bacterial wilt of corn, and others that may affect your plants.
Viral disease resistance: such as common bean mosaic BCMV, climbing vine virus (BCTV), leaf curling virus, pea deforming mosaic virus, green speckled mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, cucumber vein yellowing virus, yellow dwarf, papaya ring spot virus/watermelon mosaic virus, zucchini yellow mosaic virus, lettuce mosaic virus, bushy stunt of lettuce, melon necrotic spot virus, pepper mild mottle virus, potato Y-virus, tobacco etch virus, toba virus, tomato spotted wilt virus, zucchini leaf curl virus, dwarf mosaic virus, sugarcane mosaic virus, tomato yellow leaf curl virus, tomato brown rugose fruit virus, and others that may affect your plants.
Resistance to nematode-induced diseases: such as peanut root-knot nematode, southern root-knot nematode, Javanese root-knot nematode, and others that may affect your plants.
Insect resistance: such as Colorado potato beetle.
Identify promising genotypes to speed up selection.
Determine pedigree.
Evaluate genetic purity of lines/hybrid components.
Determine genetic distance between lines (transferred and original)/varieties/parental forms.
Identify the best components for a variety or varieties.
Evaluate the productivity of combinations of variety components.
Assess the quality of hybridization.
Evaluate the uniformity of the line.
Markers for resistance to systemic herbicides (glyphosate-based herbicides, phosphinothricin-based herbicides, and others), and selective herbicides (sulfonyurea and phenylurea-based herbicides, triazole-group herbicides, and others).
Harvesting trait markers: such as plant height, bushiness, tendency to lodge, branching, position of the lower pod, and others.
Adaptation markers for growing conditions: Identify genetic traits that ensure the plants adapt to various climatic conditions, soils, and other environmental factors.
Product quality markers: Identify genes responsible for key product characteristics, such as appearance (shape and size), taste, nutritional value, and shelf life.
Why it’s important to genotype all your plants:
Optimization of selection: With a wide range of plants showing different traits, you are more likely to find the optimal combination of plants that can quickly produce the desired variety.
Genetic diversity: The varieties that perform exceptionally well do not always carry the complete set of genes necessary for all the characteristics you need. These genes may be present in less successful varieties, and our service will help identify them and create the shortest plan to achieve your breeding goals.
