Advances in flower genetic engineering

近十余年来,花卉基因工程取得了较大的进展,许多种花都已获得转基因植株,有的已进入商品化生产阶段.本文就基因工程在花卉方面的研究和应用作一综述.Important progress in flower genetic engineering, including improvement of the color, shape, flowering time and so on, has been made in the past ten years. Some transgenic flowers have been commercially released. Advances in this field have been due to the isolation and cloning of many important regarding genes and the development of a range of plant transformation technology, along with appropriate tissue culture techniques for regenerating whole plants.福建省科委资助项目(99-Z-115)
