Lycoris Plant Tissue Culture
Lycoris plant is a perennial bulb herb of the family Amaryllidaceae, mainly distributed in the warm temperate to subtropical zones of East Asia, and there are about 20 species of this genus worldwide. Lycoris plants have a lot of cultivation and commercial cut flower production around the world and have considerable development prospects in ornamental flowers and cut flowers.
Yellow flowers of Lycoris plant
Our tissue culture technology service is an effective way
to propagate Lycoris plants in large quantities.
The ornamental value of Lycoris plants is mainly derived from the flowers, which have a variety of colors such as red, pink, yellow, white, and purple, etc. The leaves are also very beautiful, making them a good cut flower and ornamental plant, and can be used as potted flowers and ground covers.
Lycoris is also a medicinal plant, and its bulbs are rich in a variety of alkaloid compounds, which can be used to produce plant-derived fungicides to control crop diseases and pests due to the high toxicity of alkaloids. The genus is also used as an herbal medicine in some regions, and its bulbs are generally pounded for external use to reduce swelling and remove toxins. In addition, it can treat food poisoning, myasthenia gravis, lymphatic tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
Industrially, the bulbs of the Lycoris plant are rich in starch and sugar gum, and it's as a new starchy plant resource, which meets the raw material requirements for fuel ethanol production, can be used as non-food raw materials or auxiliary production materials for alcohol production.
Tissue culture service
Lycoris plants are highly marketable flowers and medicinal plants, but they have a low probability of bearing fruit and are usually further propagated live from hand-pollinated seeds, requiring 4 to 5 years of live seedlings to produce flowering bulbs. Most of them are propagated by natural seeding, and most of them can only produce 1 or 2 seeds per year, and it takes about 4 years for the seeds to flower, so it is difficult to control the flowering and medicinal use in a short period. Thus, the key to the exploitation of this type of plant is to solve the problem of germplasm propagation.
- One of the ways of tissue culture of Lycoris plants
Tissue culture is an effective way to propagate Lycoris in large quantities, and Lifeasible has produced regenerated plants of Lycoris plants by tissue culture. The tissue culture technology we provide meets the need for mass propagation of Lycoris plants, and we can provide technical services for the establishment of a fast-breeding system of Lycoris plant germplasm resources and industrial development and utilization.
