Peanut Transformation Service

With the rapid development of gene editing technologies and molecular breeding, peanut genetic improvement has entered an entirely new stage. Leveraging years of experience, Creative Biogene is dedicated to innovation and breakthroughs in peanut genetic transformation services. Through advanced techniques such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene gun methods, we efficiently achieve genetic improvement of peanut varieties, enhancing disease resistance, stress tolerance, and quality characteristics. Additionally, methods such as gene overexpression, silencing, and editing further amplify the potential for improving agronomic traits in peanuts, advancing the frontiers of peanut breeding technology.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), as one of the world's major oil crops, occupies a significant position not only as a source of edible oil and protein but also demonstrates remarkable cultivation area and yield globally. Peanuts contain abundant oils, amino acids, and minerals, serving as an essential raw material in the global food industry and feed production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the annual global cultivation area of peanuts exceeds 25 million hectares, primarily distributed across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. With intensifying global climate change, the demand for improvements in drought resistance and salt-alkali tolerance in peanuts has become increasingly urgent. Consequently, traditional breeding methods cannot effectively meet the requirements for efficient peanut improvement and large-scale production, prompting genetic transformation technology to become a crucial means of enhancing peanut productivity and quality. Genetic transformation technologies, particularly Agrobacterium-mediated methods and gene editing techniques, provide novel solutions for peanut breeding. By introducing exogenous genes into the peanut genome, genetic improvement of peanut varieties can be achieved, enhancing important traits such as disease resistance, stress tolerance, yield, and quality.

Technical Highlights

Transformation System Development

For specialized peanut cultivars, we have developed efficient transformation systems. Using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene gun methods, we optimize callus induction and proliferation conditions to ensure high transformation efficiency and stability.

Gene Overexpression and Silencing

Through gene overexpression technology, we effectively enhance oil synthesis capacity in peanut seeds, increasing their economic value; gene silencing technology is employed to improve critical traits such as disease resistance and stress tolerance.

Gene Editing

We apply many technologies for precise gene editing, directly modifying the peanut genome to increase oil content, enhance pest and disease resistance, and improve environmental adaptability.

Application Areas

  • Enhancing Oil Content: Through gene overexpression to increase the activity of genes related to oil synthesis, improving peanut oil quality and yield.
  • Strengthening Stress Tolerance: Applying gene silencing and editing techniques to enhance peanut resistance to environmental stressors such as drought and saline-alkaline conditions, improving crop stability.
  • Improving Disease and Pest Resistance: Utilizing gene editing technology to enhance peanut resistance to root-knot nematodes, leaf spot disease, and other pathogens, reducing pesticide use.

Service Advantages

  • High Specialization: We provide customized transformation system development based on different peanut varieties and cultivation environments, ensuring transformation efficiency and stability.
  • Multi-Technology Integration: Combining advanced technologies including gene overexpression, gene silencing, and gene editing to provide comprehensive genetic improvement solutions for clients.
