Soybean Transformation
The Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center provides soybean transformation and gene editing services across multiple genotypes, including Williams82, IL3613N, IL3025N, and more. All these genotypes fall within the mid to late maturity group 3. You can find agronomic data for these IL varieties in the Soybeans in Illinois – Variety Testing.
Collaborating for Premium Williams82 Seeds
Our collaboration with Robert Stupar (U of MN) involved the provision of high-quality, single-seed descent Williams82 seeds, which we bulked to establish a premium source for Williams82 at WCIC.
Our Commitment to Innovation
Continuing our commitment to innovation, WCIC is actively exploring additional genotypes to expand our service offerings, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of our current and future customers.
Adaptable Transformation Solutions: Serving Academic and Private Sectors
We’ve licensed technologies from private companies to allow us flexibility in offering various techniques to perform these services for academic/non-profit entities. Transformation services are also available to private entities.
Our process uses a mature embryo for transformation which reduces the overall time to 6-8 months from start to T1 seed harvest (patented). This direct shooting method also virtually eliminates any somoclonal variation seen with other types of callus-based systems. We also offer complete vector cloning services to quickly design and construct your vector to ensure quality and compatibility with our system.
