A method for producing a rose characterized by artificially suppressing the rose endogenous metabolic pathway and expressing the pansy gene coding for flavonoid 3',5&#x2032;-hydroxylase.

Method for producing rose with altered petal colors

A rose is produced in which an introduced gene is only present in a part of the cells thereof, such as cells of the L1 layer of flower petals, but is not present in germ cells such as pollen cells or ovule cells. Since the introduced gene is not propagated to other roses even when this rose is crossed with other roses, the possibility of dispersal of the introduced gene can be completely negated.

Method for producing transgenic surface layer chimeric plant

A method of acylating the 3' position of anthocyanin using an enzyme that transfers an aromatic acyl group to a sugar at the 3&#x2032; position of anthocyanin or a gene encoding the enzyme.

Stabilization and blueing of anthocyanin pigments using gene encoding aromatic acyltransferase capable of transferring an aromatic acyl group to the 3'-position of anthocyanin
