Breeding of Flower Color
INQUIRYIntroductions
Flower color is an important quality characteristic of ornamental plants. The merit of flower color is directly related to the ornamental value and commercial value of ornamental plants. There is a wide variety of flower colors in nature. However, the flower colors of some important flowers are limited and cannot meet the market demand. Therefore, flower color breeding occupies an important position in the breeding of ornamental flowers.
Lifeasible is able to use genetic engineering technology to change the color of ornamental flowers while maintaining the original traits to meet our customers' flower color breeding needs.
How We Help
Flower color results from the accumulation of pigment molecules in the cells. Pigments associated with flower color include chlorophylls, carotenoids, flavonoids, water-soluble alkaloids, and their derivatives. Two main groups of genes control the synthesis of these pigments, one encoding key enzymes in the process of flower color synthesis and the other encoding regulatory proteins for synthesis. We can use genetic engineering tools to target changes in flower color synthesis pathways to achieve flower color breeding based on the molecular mechanisms of flower color formation.
- We are able to change flower color using the technology of directly introducing exogenous structural genes.
- We are able to change flower color using antisense repression and co-repression principles.
- We are able to change flower color using the technology of introducing regulatory genes to activate endogenous genes.
- We are able to change flower color through the integrated regulation of multiple genes.

What We Provide
Breeding White Flowers
Anthocyanins are essential flavonoid compounds for the formation of different non-white flowers. We help our customers obtain white ornamental flowers' white mutants mainly through two molecular breeding methods. We are able to inhibit the expression of key enzymes in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway using antisense inhibition. We are able to suppress the accumulation of endogenous gene transcription products by introducing additional copies of the endogenous gene to lighten or turn the color of ornamental flowers white.
Breeding Blue Flowers
Among ornamental flowers, blue strains are sporadic. The blue color of ornamental flowers is mainly closely related to the pigment composition of the vesicles, co-pigments, metal ions, and the pH value of the vesicles. We are able to produce blue strains by introducing genes encoding flavonoid 3', 5' hydrogenases into flowers through transgenic techniques. We can also breed blue strains by over-suppressing PH genes, increasing the PH value in the vesicles, or controlling the transport of metal ions.
Breeding Black Flowers
Anthocyanin accumulation is important for producing black flowers, and the R2R3-MYB transcription factor is a key regulator of black anthocyanin accumulation in plants. We are able to use molecular biology techniques to regulate anthocyanin accumulation to help our customers breed dark-colored strains.
Breeding Green Flowers
The accumulation of chlorophyll leads to the formation of green flower color. We are able to regulate chlorophyll synthesis and degradation pathways so that chlorophyll is continuously synthesized and degraded less in ornamental flowers.
Breeding Yellow Flowers
The accumulation of carotenoids and flavonols causes the flowers to exhibit a yellow color. We are able to help our customers breed yellow strains by targeting and regulating gene expression to increase the content of carotenoids and flavonols and reduce the synthesis of anthocyanins.
Flower breeding varies from species to species so you can contact us directly for details.
