Arabidopsis Thaliana Transformation Service

Arabidopsis thaliana has long been recognized as the most important model plant in modern plant biology and molecular genetics. Its short life cycle, small genome, and ease of cultivation make it an indispensable system for functional gene studies, dissecting regulatory pathways, and developing genome editing technologies. Creative Biogene, backed by years of technical expertise, offers a professional and highly efficient Arabidopsis transformation platform that supports global researchers in accelerating their plant science projects.

Why Arabidopsis thaliana?

Unlike many other crop species that require lengthy and complex transformation protocols, Arabidopsis provides a rapid, reliable, and cost-effective system. Its self-pollination ability facilitates stable line propagation, while the widely used Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip method enables straightforward gene delivery without tissue culture steps.

Researchers rely on Arabidopsis transformation for:

  • Characterizing gene function through knockout, knock-in, or overexpression.
  • Validating CRISPR/Cas systems and novel genome editing tools.
  • Investigating stress tolerance, metabolic pathways, and plant development.
  • Translating model plant discoveries into crop improvement strategies.

Creative Biogene's Transformation Workflow

Creative Biogene adopts the optimized Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101–mediated floral dip method, which ensures high reproducibility and transformation efficiency. The core steps include vector construction, Agrobacterium preparation, floral dip inoculation, seed selection, and stable line generation.

To make the process transparent, our workflow is summarized below:

StepDescriptionExpected Outcome
Project consultationReview construct, design experimentOptimized plan tailored to your needs
Vector preparationConstruct expression vector or use the client-providedVerified plasmid ready for transformation
Agrobacterium inoculationTransform the vector into A. tumefaciens and prepare cultureStable Agrobacterium strains
Floral dip transformationDip Arabidopsis flowers in bacterial suspensionT-DNA delivery into ovules
Seed selectionGrow T1 seeds on selective mediumPositive seedlings identified
Line confirmationGenotyping, sequencing, phenotyping (optional)Stable transgenic or edited Arabidopsis lines
DeliveryShipment of seeds and a full reportIndependent positive T1/T2 lines

This streamlined workflow minimizes variability and ensures reliable delivery of transgenic plants.
