Reliance Life Sciences uses innovation in
plant biotechnology as a benchmark to develop
novel products. The technology platform
includes gene discovery, novel gene cloning,
gene expression, plant transformation and
plant cell fermentation. Plant Metabolic
Engineering (PME) services include:
Large Scale Production of Industrial Compounds and High-value Metabolites through plant cell and hairy root cultures
Increasing Secondary Metabolite yield by cloning genes of interest
PME is committed to creating value through high quality research and developing new products of commercial value in each of its research programs.
Under the Biofuels program, Reliance Life
Sciences is developing transgenic and random
mutants of Jatropha yielding higher-than-normal
quantity of oil and large-scale production
of Jatropha plants through micro-propagation.
Under its Nutraceuticals program, Reliance
Life Sciences is developing processes for
large-scale biomass production using bioreactors.
