Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: A novel Torenia phenotype having separate petals was obtained by the combination of NF-YA6-VP16 with a floral organ-specific promoter. Genetic engineering techniques helped in obtaining novel flower colors and shapes, in particular, by introducing functionally modified transcription factors (TFs) to ornamental flower species. Herein, we used functionally modified Arabidopsis TFs fused with the...
