Betulaceae Plant Tissue Culture
The tall Betula pendula of the genus Betulaceae.
Our tissue culture technology enables mass
propagation of this plant which has green and
ornamental and medical value.
Betulaceae plants belong to the order Beech; there are 6 genera and about 200 species, mainly distributed in the northern temperate zone and in Central and South America. Betulaceae are deciduous trees or shrubs, branchlets, and leaves, sometimes with resinous glands or glands. Single leaf, flowers unisexual, monoecious. Fruit a nutlet or nut, embryo erect, cotyledons flattened or fleshy, without endosperm.
Betulaceae plants have a large economic value. Many species of Betulaceae are essential constituents of northern temperate forests, are silvicultural species and are among the high-quality timber forests. The wood of Betulaceae plants is used for construction and making furniture and agricultural tools. The seeds are edible or can be extracted for oil, which has some economic value. Meanwhile, many plants of other genera of Betulaceae are available as horticultural species.
Tissue culture service
Lifeasible has been dedicated to the breakthrough of plant tissue culture technology for many years, has accumulated abundant Betulaceae plant tissue culture, and has established an efficient tissue culture system for Betulaceae plants. Our service can provide theoretical support for the research of Betulaceae plant selection, directional breeding, and genetic transformation.
At present, many plants of Betulaceae are propagated mainly by seeds and cuttings, which have low reproduction coefficients. We applied plant tissue culture technology to the rapid propagation of Betulaceae plants, which is essential for maintaining the germplasm resources of Betulaceae, accelerating the production of seedlings, and improving the diversity of landscaping seedlings.
More types of explants can be used for tissue culture of Betulaceae plants. Therefore, you can provide stem segments with axillary buds, stem tips, seeds, leaves, seed embryos, etc. We can provide you with a customized service plan for any type of explants.
- Selection of basic medium
The main basic medium used in Betulaceae group culture is WPM, MS, 1/2MS, WH, N6, NRM, DKW, NN, B5, and so on. Different medium is suitable for other Betulaceae species. Based on our extensive experience, we can select the most suitable culture for you to improve the speed of induction of healing tissue and the rate of axillary bud germination.
- Hormone types, matching, and ratios on
The multiplication coefficient of adventitious buds is a key link for plants to achieve large-scale tissue production, especially for woody plants. Appropriate hormone types and matching pairs can promote the proliferation of adventitious buds of plants. The main auxins used in tissue culture of Betulaceae plants are NAA, 2, 4-D, IBA, etc., and the cytokinins are mainly BA, KT, TDZ, ZT, and so on. Different species of Betulaceae plants require different hormone species and matching pairs. We will choose the best option for you by setting up multiple controlled trials.
Establishing a sterile system is a critical part of plant tissue culture. The sterilization effect of different sterilizing agents and different sterilization times on explants varies significantly. As the sterilization time increases, the contamination rate of explants decreases, but the survival rate of explants is also affected. Therefore, dealing with the relationship between contamination rate and survival rate of explants is the focus of our service.
