摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates generally to novel approaches in generating transgenic plants exhibiting altered flower colour by the introduction of a dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) which preferably acts on dihydromyricetin (DHM). More particularly, the present invention provides transgenic carnation plants and flowers cut therefrom exhibiting flower colouration not naturally associated with carnation plants. The present invention further contemplates methods for producing transgenic carnation plants with the altered flower colour.</p> |
