Flower colour pigments
Flavonoid Betalain Carotenoid
Anthocyanin
Cyanidin
Pelargonidin
Delphinidin
Forkmann, 1991
Development of Novel Flower Colour
• Anthocyanin (glycosides) are major contributing to flower
colour (Stafford, 1990)
• Phenylalanine is the precursor and synthesized by phenyl propanoid
pathway (Springob et al, 2003; Tanaka and Mason, 2003)
• The flower colour modification via genetic engineering is focused on
metabolic engineering of the flavonoid pathway
• Primary function of flavonoid pigments in flowers-
Attract insects and other animals which help in crosspollination
(Brouillard and Dangles, 1993)
Provide protection against U.V radiation (Dixon et al, 1995)

anthocyanin and increased fragrance (Zuker et al, 2002)
• Successful reduction of anthocyanin biosynthesis has been
reported in Petunia (Krol et al, 1988)
• Gerbera (Elomaa, 1993)
• Chrysanthemum (Courtney-Gutterson et al, 1994)

(G) Yellow petunia (expressing Lotus
japonica PKR)
• ABC Model was given to identify the floral organ identify gene (FOIG)
• Gene A for sepal development (first outermost whorl)
• Genes A and B together for petals in the second whorl
• Genes B and C determine the stamens in the third whorl
• Gene C alone specifies the carpel in the fourth whorl
(Coen and Meyerowitz, 1991)
Flower shape modification
• Antirrhinum majus B genes DEF and GLO in transgenic Torenia resulted in
the conversion of sepals to petals
• C gene from Rosa rugosa in Torenia resulted in a carpeloid structure in place
of sepals (Kitahara et al, 2004)

Strategies for long vase life
1. Antisense ACS and antisense ACO technology
2. Over expression of ACC deaminase (metabolises
ACC before it converts to ethylene)
3. Over expression SAM hydrolase which converts
ACC in other metabolite
4. Expression of gene for isopentenyl transferase (ipt)
giving increased level of cytokinin
Antisense ACC synthase (aBoACS1)
Antisense ACC oxidase (aBoACO1)

Savin et al, 1995
Extended vase life of transgenic carnations using ipt gene
• Ipt gene increased level of cytokinin
• Transgenic carnations showed long vase life of 16 days in water. This is
double the life of non-GM varieties
(Kosugi et al, 2002)
Commercialization Hurdles -
for GE Ornamental crops
• Ornamentals have much smaller market value than food crops
• High cost of analysis, risk assessment and regulatory approval
- Super carnations, color-modified Torenia
• Regulatory approval for field testing takes months or years
• Molecular characterization require PCR-based identification test
for which fee of 30,000 EURO

  • 50. Genetic engineering for long vase life Ethylene is synthesized from the petals after full opening of the flower during senescence (Reid and Wu, 1992; Woodson et al,1992) Long vase life Senescence inhibition Inhibit ethylene biosynthesis Block ethylene action (Adams and Yang, 1979) aACS aACO
  • 51. Strategies for long vase life 1. Antisense ACS and antisense ACO technology 2. Over expression of ACC deaminase (metabolises ACC before it converts to ethylene) 3. Over expression SAM hydrolase which converts ACC in other metabolite 4. Expression of gene for isopentenyl transferase (ipt) giving increased level of cytokinin

Antisense ACC synthase (aBoACS1) Antisense ACC oxidase (aBoACO1) Delayed senescence of Petunia flower transformed with antisense ACC synthase and oxidase genes Antisense BoACO1 gene is more efficient than antisense BoACS1 gene to reduce ethylene Ethylene production declines Ethylene production by leaf of cultured stem Huang et al, 2007

  • 55. Extended vase life of transgenic carnations using ipt gene • Ipt gene increased level of cytokinin • Transgenic carnations showed long vase life of 16 days in water. This is double the life of non-GM varieties (Kosugi et al, 2002)
  • 56. Commercialization Hurdles - for GE Ornamental crops • Ornamentals have much smaller market value than food crops • High cost of analysis, risk assessment and regulatory approval - Super carnations, color-modified Torenia • Regulatory approval for field testing takes months or years • Molecular characterization require PCR-based identification test for which fee of 30,000 EURO Chandler, 2013
