Plant Drought Resistance Protein Function Analysis Service
Drought stress causes significant losses to crops and also leads to serious ecological problems. Therefore, the in-depth understanding of plant cells' response to drought stress and the mechanisms of drought resistance has always been a research hotspot for botanists.
CD BioSciences CD BioSciences has experienced experts to develop new plant drought resistance strategies for our clients. We provide research services on the function of drought-resistant proteins in plants, including identification of drought-resistant genes, acquisition of transgenic plants, and analysis of drought-resistant mechanisms in transgenic plants.

Crop Drought-Resistant Gene Identification Service
We can complete high-quality assembly and annotation of crop drought-resistant germplasm genomes through
- Third-generation PacBio sequencing technology
- HiC technology
- Optical mapping
We also provide GWAS and drought response gene expression eQTL analysis to identify potential drought resistance genes. Our services provide high-quality genomic information for clients to analyze genetic variations in crop drought resistance, identify excellent drought resistance gene resources, and clone key drought resistance genes.
Transgenic Drought-Resistant Plants Acquisition Service
- Construction of overexpression vectors.
- Genetic transformation.
- Identification of positive plants.
Transgenic Plants Drought Resistance Function Analysis Service
We provide plant drought resistance index evaluation service to reveal the action mechanism.
| Service content | Description |
| Morphological structure analysis | The analysis includes leaf tissue structure, stratum corneum thickness, stomata, lenticel density, stomata opening and sinking degree, root development degree, root crown ratio, stem base diameter, xylem vessel diameter, and quantity, vessel area to stem cross-sectional area ratio, etc. |
| Physiological and biochemical analysis | The analysis includes water physiological indicators, membrane permeability, enzyme activity (SOD, POD, CAT), osmoregulation substances (MDA, proline, soluble sugar, soluble protein), endogenous hormones (ABA, IAA, GA), chlorophyll, net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, etc. |
| Growth and yield analysis | The analysis includes germination stress index (GSI), biomass, economic yield (seeds, fruits, and leaves), plant survival rate after drought, etc. |
| The types of proteins we can analyze | Detail |
| Functional proteins that exert direct effects | Examples include ion channel proteins, LEA proteins, osmoregulatory proteins, and metabolic enzymes. |
| Functional proteins that exert indirect effects | Examples include transcription factors, protein kinases, G proteins, phospholipase C, phospholipase D, and calmodulin. |
