真正嘅藍玫瑰仲係在研究嘅階段,暫時未能在市面買得到。
而家 D 科學家正在用淡紫色的玫瑰同另外有藍色基因的花一齊睇下可唔可以用基因工程創造有穩定的真正純藍色的玫瑰。
你去花店買的藍玫瑰 是用白玫瑰浸藍色水染成,2004 年澳洲同日本科學家經過15 年嘅研究才用基因工程創造出第一朵接近自然顔色的藍玫瑰。
Since roses lack a gene to produce delphinidin, the primary plant pigment that produces true blue flowers, blue roses were traditionally created by dyeing white roses. However, after 15 years of joint research by an Australian company Florigene, and Japanese company Suntory, a blue rose was created in 2004 using genetic engineering. The delphinidin gene was cloned from the petunia and inserted into a mauve-blend rose, the Old Garden Rose ; Cardinal de Richelieu.; (a Rosa gallica) However, since the pigment cyanidin was still present, the rose was more dark burgundy than true blue. Further work on the rose using RNAi technology to depress the production of cyanidin produced a very dark mauve plant, with only trace amounts of cyanidin
