At Micro Paradox, we’re proud to support breeders who are shaping the future of agriculture and horticulture. One of the ways we do this is through our proprietary germplasm maintenance service, which ensures that breeders’ valuable plant material is preserved, ready for propagation, and free from pathogens. This service not only protects intellectual property but also enables the efficient and reliable distribution of plants, both domestically and to export markets.
What Is Germplasm Maintenance?
Germplasm maintenance involves storing and actively maintaining the genetic material of plants in vitro, where it is secure, clean, and ready for further propagation. This process allows breeders to retain consistent, high-quality stock that can be reproduced as needed, without concerns about genetic drift or contamination.
Why It Matters to Breeders
For breeders, maintaining proprietary germplasm is critical to safeguarding their investment in new and unique varieties. By keeping this material in vitro, we help them avoid the risks associated with traditional storage methods and field-grown plants. Our controlled, disease-free environment ensures that the plants remain true to type, and we can quickly propagate new plants on demand, making it easy to scale up production as market needs change.
Supporting Material Distribution for Export Markets
In addition to preservation, our germplasm maintenance service extends to material distribution for export. We work closely with breeders to manage phytosanitary requirements, ensuring that all material is cleared and ready for shipment to international markets. This seamless integration of maintenance and export capability supports breeders in expanding their reach, introducing new varieties to global markets, and staying competitive.
Committed to the Future of Plant Innovation
Our commitment to breeders and germplasm maintenance reflects our dedication to the future of plant innovation. By offering a full-service approach that includes propagation, phytosanitary clearance, and distribution, we provide breeders with a trusted partner they can rely on to protect and grow their valuable genetic resources.
