Malus plants belong to a genus of high economic value in the family Rosaceae, with high nutritional, ornamental, and economic value. There are about 35 species worldwide, mainly distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, spanning Eurasia and North America.
Malus plants can be propagated either by traditional seed propagation of live seedlings followed by grafting or by tissue culture. However, although the traditional grafting technique is widely used, it is not only difficult to preserve the good traits, but also has low reproductive efficiency, which greatly limits the selection of superior trees and large-scale expansion of Malus plants.
Tissue culture technology can preserve the excellent traits of Malus plants and improve the propagation efficiency, which is an important way for rapid propagation of Malus plants. Lifeasible uses the propagation method of tissue culture, which not only can maintain, purify or rejuvenate the excellent traits of the parent Malus plants, but also has small individuals and large populations of propagules under ex vivo culture, and the controlled environment can also The controlled environment eliminates the limitation of seasonal factors, thus significantly improving the reproduction coefficient.
Many parts of the Malus plant body can be used as explants for tissue culture, but different explants have different regenerative abilities; therefore, selecting the right explant is a prerequisite for successful tissue culture by Lifeasible.
Lifeasible was able to achieve success on several Malus plant species using the stem tip culture technique. In addition, regenerated plants can also be obtained by inducing healing tissues. We usually use leaves, anthers, embryos, stem tips, stem segments, cotyledons, protoplasts, etc. as explants and we can also obtain regenerated plants by different culture routes.
