Types of Gene Delivery
• Direct gene transfer:
• Electroporation method
• Microinjection method
• Microprojectile bombardment method
• Gene Gun Method
• Indirect gene transfer:
• Agrobacterium Mediated transfer
Color Modification
• Most widely reported type of genetic modification in floricultural
crops
• Flavonoids, carotenoids, and betalains are the three main
pigment classes that contribute to flower color
• Anthocyanins, a particular class of flavonoids, are major
constituents of orange, red, violet, and blue flowers.
• Flavonoids (flavones and flavonols)
• Presence of metal ions and vacuole pH also affects flower color,
giving an infinite variation

Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathway
• Flavonoids - water-soluble - most common pigments in
flowers
• Yellow to red to violet to blue
• Flavonoids are classified into groups depending on their
structure
• Chalcones, Aurones, Anthocyanins, flavones, and flavonols
– major contributors
• flavones, and flavonols – colourless (co-pigments)
• Synthesized in cytosols - transported to vacuoles - acidic
conditions stabilize the colored anthocyanins

Carotenoids
• Carotenoids are C-40 tetraterpenoids with polyene chains
that are lipid soluble
• 700 natural carotenoids have been identified
• They share the terpenoid biosynthetic pathway
• Contribute to the majority of yellow to orange hues in a
number of flowers, including rose and chrysanthemum
Dominant over yellow

suggested to inhibit

Genetic transformation in flower crops
Criteria for selecting the host
variety
• They accumulated flavonols that
were expected to be co-pigment
• They had a higher vacuolar pH
• Ideally, they did not have F3’H
activity
• They accumulated pelargonidin
rather than cyanidin
• WKS77, WKS82, WKS100,
WKS116, WKS124 and WKS140
were selected for genetic
transformation

are cyanidin 3-mono or di malonyl glucosides
• Pelargonidin-based anthocyanins are rarely found in
chrysanthemum
• Cultivar selected - Improved Reagan

Vase life
• Retention of postharvest quality is essential in floricultural crops
• Premature senescence - reflected in leaf yellowing, leaf and/or
flower abscission in pot plants, or a short vase-life of cut flowers
• Ethylene - petal senescence
• With species that ripen or senesce in response to ethylene,
longevity can be extended by suppressing either the biosynthesis
of or tissue sensitivity to ethylene

Longevity of flowers left undisturbed on
plants
Conclusion
• Most convincing clones were 2-28, 5-2, 5-26, and 5-30
• The antisense BoACO1 transformation was evidently more
effective than the antisense BoACS1
• Transformation with antisense constructs of broccoli genes
can result in reduced ethylene evolution in an unrelated
species, petunia, and the lower rates of ethylene evolution
are associated with extended flower longevity, especially of
excised flowers

Flower Scent
• Floral scent is an important and fascinating character of
floricultural crops
• Many modern cut flower varieties have little or no scent.
• This is because there is a negative correlation between
postharvest vase life and fragrance
• Terpenoids - essential oils - ability to manipulate
• The type, concentration, and ratios of these compounds may also
be a beneficial application of gene-technology in floricultural
plants
Mechanism
• Terpenes, phenylpropanoids or fatty acid derivatives (Volatile
groups)
• They are secondary, or specialized, metabolism
• Produced only in specific plant lineages and function in specific
ecological roles unique to these lineages
• Primary and specialized metabolic pathways are not completely
separate
• In some cases a single reaction and a single enzyme will convert a
primary metabolite into a volatile compound, whereas in other
cases multiple steps are required

Each caterpillar was transferred to
each leaf disc (diameter 15 mm)
prepared from wild type or

to feed for 24 h in the dark in a
climate chamber at 25°C with a
relative humidity of 60%
Second-instar caterpillars were
starved for 5 hours.
A choice test of aphids (C, D). After feeding for a week, each leaf detached from
whole plants of wild type or transgenic line C#1 was photographed
Caffeine-producing transgenic plants are commonly resistant
against a broad range of herbivore insects and pathogens

  • 59. Ethylene production in transgenic carnations
  • 60. Flower Scent • Floral scent is an important and fascinating character of floricultural crops • Many modern cut flower varieties have little or no scent. • This is because there is a negative correlation between postharvest vase life and fragrance • Terpenoids - essential oils - ability to manipulate • The type, concentration, and ratios of these compounds may also be a beneficial application of gene-technology in floricultural plants
  • 61. Mechanism • Terpenes, phenylpropanoids or fatty acid derivatives (Volatile groups) • They are secondary, or specialized, metabolism • Produced only in specific plant lineages and function in specific ecological roles unique to these lineages • Primary and specialized metabolic pathways are not completely separate • In some cases a single reaction and a single enzyme will convert a primary metabolite into a volatile compound, whereas in other cases multiple steps are required

Notas do Editor

  1. Flavonoids absorb UV-B and thus can protect plant organs from UV-damage Some flavonoids are also inhibitory to insect feeding
  2. Thirty pCS2 and pCS5 regenerants were randomly selected and assigned clone numbers as 2-1 to 2-30 and 5-1 to 5-30, respectively
