Genetic engineering of cut flowers
Date: 21.4.2008
In the past, **roses** were simply yellow, red or white. Blue roses could not exist: these plants are unable to produce blue pigments naturally. By means of **gene technology**, this goal has been reached. This is not all: in labs around the world, designer cut flowers are being created with exceptional colours, with prolonged shelf-life, with added fragrances or with built-in frost protection. GM cut flowers can be bought in the EU as well.
