Influence of rol genes in floriculture
Biotechnology Advances, 2005Traditionally, new traits have been introduced into ornamental plants through classical breeding. However, genetic engineering now enables specific alterations of single traits in already successful varieties. New or improved varieties of floricultural crops can be obtained by acting on floral traits, such as color, shape or fragrance, on vase life in ...

Status of Floriculture in Europe
2009Europe is traditionally the largest producer of floricultural products in the world with an estimated production value of over 12 billion euro in 2006. The Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom and France are the main centres of production. More recently, a significant growth in production area was observed in Poland also.

Induced Polyploidy in Floriculture
The American Naturalist, 1941THE comparatively recent discovery of the ease with which the chromosome number in plants may be doubled by using colchicine appears likely to greatly stimulate interest in flower breeding. As a rule tetraploids have larger flowers and fruits than diploids, and in addition, as pointed out by Mihitzing (1936), they usually bloom later and thus may ...

Genetic Engineering in Floriculture
2009The global flower industry thrives on novelty. Genetic engineering is providing a valuable means of expanding the floriculture gene pool so promoting the generation of new commercial varieties. Commercialisation of genetically engineered flowers is currently confined to novel coloured carnations.
