Description
Petunia was genetically modified to express the A1 gene of Zea mays which is codes for dihydroflavonol-4-reductase. This reductase converts endogenously accumulated dihydrokaempferol to leukopelargonidin, resulting in the production of the pigment pelargonidin and therefore a salmon red flower colour.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
Petunia hybrida - Petunia, PETHY

Further details
Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The A1 gene coding for the dihydroflavonol-4-reductase from Zea mays (CS-dfr-MAIZE) is expressed under the control of the 35S promoter and termination region of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (P-35S-CaMV and T-35S-CaMV).
Approximately 200 bp of the native genome were deleted at the insertion site. There is no evidence that this would lead to any functional changes.
