Recent Progress of Flower Colour Modification by Biotechnology
Genetically-modified, colour-altered varieties of the important cut-flower crop carnation have now been commercially available for nearly ten years. In this review we describe the manipulation of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway that has lead to the development of these varieties and how similar manipulations have been successfully applied to both pot plants and another cut-flower species, ...
متن کاملPotential Competency of Glucose Oxidase for Modification of Flower Colour in Carthamus tinctorius
Glucose was found to be a potential stimulator o f carthamin formation in triturated florets o f C. tinctorius. At a 10 m M glucose level, carthamin-producing activity was raised from 3.2fold (upper) to 2.0-fold (lower) level compared with the control having no sugar. Glucose oxi dase (ß-D-glucose: oxygen 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.4) from Aspergillus niger could catalyze the conversion of pre...
متن کاملFlower Colour: How Bumblebees Handle Colours with Perceptually Changing Hues
Colours are floral signals enabling bees to detect, inspect and discriminate flowers in a multitasking world. Behavioural tests now show that trained bumblebees find iridescent coloured targets more quickly and that weak iridescence does not corrupt target identification.
متن کاملFlower colour adaptation in a mimetic orchid.
Although the tremendous variability in floral colour among angiosperms is often attributed to divergent selection by pollinators, it is usually difficult to preclude the possibility that floral colour shifts were driven by non-pollinator processes. Here, we examine the adaptive significance of flower colour in Disa ferruginea, a non-rewarding orchid that is thought to attract its butterfly poll...
متن کاملColour Engineering: Achieving Device Independent Colour
This book is an attempt at compiling a concise yet descriptive text on a variety of topics in the color processing chain in a digital color imaging device/system. As the title of the book suggests, the aim of this book is to put activities of various academic and industrial groups, either as proprietary research or through standards bodies, into perspective. The editors achieve this by collecti...
