ДОБИВАЊЕ СИНА БОЈА КАЈ РОЗИТЕ СО ПРИМЕНА НА ГЕНЕТСКО ИНЖЕНЕРСТВО GETTING BLUE ROSES USING GENETIC ENGINEERING

Abstract

One of the main goals of floricultural breeders is creating new colors in flowers. Conventional breeding methods that use existing genetic resources of floricultural species are limited by the absence of key genes for biosynthesis of new pigments. For this reason by classical breeding methods can not be created blue rose genotypes. Genetic engineering is the process of deleting, modification or adding novel genes into the DNA molecule, in order to change the genetic information they contain. Goal of modern plant biotechnology is to improve certain traits in plants, animals and micro-organisms with the introduction of a certain gene. Genetic modifications allow improvement (change) of use-features in floricultural species. Roses are ones of the most important cut flower crops that are widely used throughout the world. In this paper is described the procedure for creation of blue rose via genetic transformation.
