Lifeasible's Updated Yeast-Based High-Throughput Screening Platform for Plant Resistance Genes
TL;DR
Lifeasible's updated yeast-based screening platform gives researchers a competitive edge by rapidly identifying plant resistance genes to develop hardier, higher-yielding crops more efficiently.
Lifeasible's platform works by constructing yeast expression libraries from plant RNA, then screening clones under adverse conditions to identify and validate resistance genes through protein expression.
This technology helps create more resilient crops that can withstand environmental stresses, potentially improving food security and reducing agriculture's environmental impact for a better tomorrow.
Lifeasible uses yeast as a model organism to screen plant genes, offering a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional methods for discovering how plants resist toxins.

The main purpose is to help researchers rapidly identify plant genes that confer resistance to environmental stressors, pests, pathogens, and heavy metals through yeast-based high-throughput screening.
Identifying these genes is crucial for modern breeding programs because environmental challenges like heavy metal contamination, disease attacks, and other stresses significantly affect plant growth, yield, and crop quality.
Lifeasible offers one-stop services including construction of yeast expression libraries, high-throughput screening for resistance genes under adverse conditions, and phenotypic validation through knockout strain creation and complement verification.
Traditional screening methods are slow, time-consuming, and have limited throughput, while yeast-based screening provides a faster, more cost-effective alternative that enables high-throughput gene function analysis at lower cost.
Main services include: Construction of yeast expression library (RNA isolation, cDNA library construction), High-throughput screening for resistance genes (preparation, adverse condition exploration, positive clone screening, gene identification, protein validation), and Phenotypic validation of yeast (knockout strain creation, complement verification).
The platform is designed for researchers in agricultural science and plant biotechnology who need to identify resistance genes for crop improvement programs.
The update was announced on January 28, 2026, as indicated in the press release.
Lifeasible provides a wide range of services including gene cloning, gene expression, modification, protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions, cell imaging, and phytochemical analysis.
