  • Essay / Global Cut Flower Trade - 1321

    The global cut flower trade exceeds $27 billion in annual retail sales and thrives on novelty. While it is clear that changing flower color means creating novelty, additional traits lend themselves to manipulation, notably through the extension of classical selection after gene splicing, as more factors are characterized. The characteristics targeted for manipulation leading to novelty are classified according to whether they concern the buyer or the producer. While classical breeding has targeted each category, its customer characteristics, which, because of its relative gain, are drawn from the successful initial attempts of genetic engineers to create new commercial cut flowers. The industrial application of plant biotechnology through genetic modification is here to stay. . There are clear benefits for growers in exploiting genetically modified styles of major food crops, as well as evidence of environmental benefits. The transgenic plant containing the Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) factor is an example. In these crops, a sharp reduction in the amount of chemicals used to control insects was measured, alongside an increase in yield. Millions of hectares of genetically modified plants are currently in production and progress is being made towards the use of genetically modified crops for phytoremediation and therefore the production of necessary secondary metabolites, as well as prescription drugs. In the coming years, it is reasonable to expect that genetically modified plant varieties will be used in many areas of agriculture, forestry and agriculture. Ornamental agriculture is an extremely vital economic aspect of agriculture, and gardening is successively a dominant sector of agriculture. A hallmark of gardening, which covers ...... middle of paper ...... f compounds involving, surprisingly, only a small variety of metabolic pathways that are amenable to manipulation. Two genes responsible for the distinctive aroma of rose, two O-methyl transferase are isolated, floral scent plays a very important role in attracting pollinators. It is also important to choose buyers when purchasing flowers because of their sensual associations. The floral scent is made up of various compounds. More than 700 of them are known in sixty plant families. The structures of many of these odorous compounds have been determined. Although the amount of cloned genes involved in the synthesis of floral odor compounds is constantly increasing, information on the organic chemistry and molecular biology of odor compound synthesis remains limited. Reports of genetic modification of floral scent exploitation are even rarer..
