Biotech Consulting

Q: What are Leafgene Solutions' main services?

Our work is organised into three areas: Plant genetics, where we design and run breeding programmes guided by artificial intelligence, alongside molecular markers, genetic traceability and pathogen diagnostics. In-vitro culture and plant sanitation, with protocols to eliminate viruses and viroids in high-value crops and recover pathogen-free mother plants. Biotech consulting, to bring all of the above into the strategy of growers, nurseries and cooperatives.

Trials, analysis and scientific advice for the agri-food sector.

Design and delivery of trials to validate products, guide breeding programmes and underpin technical decisions.

Your strategic partner

We are connecting basic science and the agricultural sector

Thanks to our academic experience and our extensive contacts network, we can develop tailor-made solutions for new problems in the agricultural sector.

Biostimulant validation

Biostimulant validation is the rigorous assessment of agricultural bioproducts, such as biostimulants, biofertilisers and alternative plant protection products, to establish their efficacy and safety before market release.We do this through differential gene expression analysis and other molecular and physiological biomarkers, comparing treated material against untreated controls. Integrating those data makes it possible to measure how the product affects the plant's metabolic and defence processes, to describe its mode of action, and to check whether the response holds across different conditions.For manufacturers and developers who need evidence to register a product or to support their commercial claims.

Technical validation trials

We design and run controlled experiments to evaluate the efficacy of new protocols, techniques or technologies applied to agriculture, before they are implemented at scale.The trials record agronomic parameters such as growth, yield, vigour and resistance to pests or environmental stress, alongside molecular ones such as gene expression, the presence of specific markers and genetic integrity.This dual approach distinguishes real efficacy from an effect that only appears in the laboratory, and shows whether the solution is reproducible and scalable under field conditions. For developers of a protocol or technology who need to know whether it works outside a controlled environment.

Breeding programme planning

We design the full programme, from the selection of starting material to the obtaining of varieties, for the client's own team to run. The plan combines traditional breeding methods with marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic analysis and, where appropriate, gene editing to introduce or modify specific traits.A well-designed programme shortens development cycles, improves selection efficiency, steers the work towards uniform and viable varieties, and maintains traceability and genetic fidelity of the material.For companies setting up a programme of their own that need the design before committing years of field work.

Tailored bioinformatic analysis

Our custom bioinformatics analyses enable us to address complex biological questions through the integrated analysis of multiple layers of omics information. We apply advanced genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and metagenomic techniques to obtain a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the functioning and regulation of the biological systems under study.Thanks to optimized bioinformatics pipelines and multi-omics data integration methodologies, we can identify correlations, patterns, and biomarkers that would not be evident through individual analyses. This allows us to generate integrative and precise insights, supporting everything from plant breeding and biotechnology studies to biomedical research and the development of innovative products.

Scientific advisory

We work with companies that require scientific judgement on a continuing basis rather than a one-off report. The same team that designs a study interprets its results and takes part in the decisions that follow from them.Our collaboration with academic groups allows specialists to be brought in where a problem requires it, without the company having to establish those arrangements itself.The advisory work covers technical guidance and the fit between scientific decisions, commercial objectives and the regulatory requirements of each market.
