Rice Plant is a proprietary functional genomics Platform using Large-scale Agrobacterium- mediated Nuclear Transformation of rice, Oryza sative L. With the growing body of sequence information, there is also a parallel and compelling need to assign functions to predicted gene sequences through experimental validation. Experimental validation of gene function, especially for plant genes, (knock-out) of such genes in model plant like rice.

 

Why Rice?

 

• Small and sequenced genome

 

• Well characterized species in terms of genetic, molecular and agronomic information

 

• Genome is syntenic with that of other plant species, especially major cereal crops

 

• Relatively short life cycle

 

• Optimized protocols for high throughput genetic   transformation

 

Rice PlantTM offers you a complete solution for experimental validation of the functions of candidate genes and regulator sequences.
