GENOMIC SERVICES TO GET YOU GROWING

image

We use data from early-generation DNA testing and pertinent phenotypic information to help select individuals with desirable traits for subsequent generations. Maximizing trait selection is vital for accurate product development, and for reducing the time-to-market for new varieties.

image

Quickly drill down through your sample seedlings. Find those with the most desirable traits, based upon validated genetic markers. It’s the ultimate way to accelerate your marker-assisted breeding program.

Accelerate your crop-improvement program with Ag-Biotech’s marker-assisted backcrossing. It speeds gene introgression and the recovery of the recipient genome, maximizing your odds of identifying the best candidate genotypes.

image

Let Ag-Biotech lock down the unique identity of your cultivar based on its DNA—as opposed to its mere morphology or isozyme markers. This will give you the proof-positive you need to protect your varietal rights—and your business.

image

Let us customize a marker-development program for you, speeding your ability to breed for specific traits. Custom molecular marker identification and development also hastens the introgression of desirable genes among varieties—and from wild species into crop plants.

Ag-Biotech can help you eliminate the guesswork of sorting hybrids from selfs, identifying off-types, and ensuring the highest quality seed. Count on our PCR-based methodology and DNA markers to ascertain hybrid purity, and accurately identify varieties of numerous crops.

image

Let us build linkage maps to find the locations of specific genes that can be associated with the expression of agronomically important traits. We can then tag these genes for you with molecular markers, to easily identify their presence or absence in specific plants or breeding lines.

Take advantage of our high-throughput DNA extraction from both plant tissue and seeds. Our expertly-extracted DNA is suitable for standard PCR, genotyping, and sequence-related work and other downstream applications. Contact us to discuss your specific needs today.
