HOMOZYGOSITY TEST
Genetic precision that reveals homozygosity beyond the phenotype.
What We Test For
DNA-level homozygosity testing assesses genetic uniformity using co-dominant SSR/SNP markers. We provide DNA extraction, PCR/genotyping, allele profiling and homozygosity analysis to identify heterozygosity and genetic variation in breeding/hybrid lines
Homozygosity testing is a molecular approach for evaluating the genetic uniformity and homozygous status of breeding lines. The service uses DNA markers to assess allele composition across selected genomic regions. It supports identification of genetically fixed and stable lines. The analysis can facilitate early-stage selection within breeding/hybrid populations. It helps breeders reduce dependence on lengthy phenotypic evaluation. The results support line advancement, genetic characterization and breeding decisions. This service is particularly useful for developing uniform parental and elite breeding/hybrid lines.
- Evaluates homozygosity and genetic uniformity using co-dominant markers
- Enables early identification of genetically fixed and stable breeding/hybrid lines
- Identifies heterozygous loci and genetic variation across selected genomic regions
- Supports line advancement, genetic characterization and development of uniform parental/elite lines
Frequently Asked Questions
Our analysts follow ISTA, IMSCS and NABL standard homozygosity testing protocols across multiple crop categories.
What is DNA-level homozygosity testing?
It is a molecular test used to assess genetic uniformity and homozygous status at selected genomic regions using DNA markers.
Which DNA markers are used for homozygosity testing?
Depending on the crop and objective, co-dominant SSR or SNP markers can be used to distinguish homozygous and heterozygous genotypes.
How is the test conducted?
The process generally involves DNA extraction, quality assessment, PCR/genotyping, allele profiling and interpretation of marker data.
What are the benefits of DNA-level homozygosity testing?
It helps identify genetically fixed lines, heterozygous loci and genetic variation, supporting early selection in breeding programs.
Who can use this testing service?
The service is useful for seed companies, plant breeders, research institutions and biotechnology programs developing uniform parental, inbred and elite breeding/hybrid lines.
Our Expertise
Improve all products to make them safer, better and more accessible for environment.
Guaranteed Quality for Every Seed Lot, Every Time
Seed testing is not just a formality it ensures that the seed reaching farmers meets specification and certification standards (ISTA & IMSCS) and is safe to be released to the market.
Our strict Quality Control (QC) tools and molecular testing methods identify non-conforming seed lots in time preventing good product from being wasted while stopping substandard product from reaching farmers.
