It will be possible to buy blue roses only in a year, and until then they will be shown at exhibitions, scientific conferences and professional meetings.
Today, in addition to pink and red roses, there are also natural white, yellow, black and light brown, however, the creation of blue or blue roses was considered by many to be impossible due to the lack of natural pigment blue or blue, which is present in roses or close to them with biological point of view … However, the specialists from Florigene were able to do the impossible.
As the creators of the plant said, back in 1991, they managed to find and separate a natural gene present in some plants and responsible for their blue or blue coloring. After this discovery, geneticists were able to adapt the gene for many plants so that they acquire a blue color of leaves or inflorescences. However, the biggest problem was that even under ideal conditions, blue and blue plants could not survive for long. Now this drawback has been eliminated.
In addition to blue roses, Tokyo also shows genetically modified roses that can glow in the dark due to their phosphorus content.
