Description
Carnation with a modified flower colour, a shade of light mauve, whereas the non-GM parent has cream-white flowers. The colour has been achieved by introducing into white carnation two genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway from Petunia and Viola sp. These genes, encoding dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (dfr) and flavonoid 3'5' hydroxylase (f3'5'h), together with other genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway already present in the non GM carnation, give rise to the anthocyanins delphinidin and cyanidin.
Note:
This line was never commercialised
NOTE: This LMO was formerly referred to with the UID FLO-11959-3.
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.

Additional Information
Additional Information
Transgenic line 959A was developed using recombinant DNA techniques to produce flowers with a unique deep purple colour by introducing two genes that function together in the biosynthesis of the anthocyanin pigment delphinidin. The transgenic line was derived from the parent cultivar 'White Unesco', which is a white coloured carnation that was selected for a mutation in the dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) encoding gene that did not allow for expression of a functional enzyme, and thus did not produce the anthocyanin type pigments that give rise to blue and red coloured flowers.
The two genes introduced into the transgenic carnation line included a functional dihydroflavonol reductase encoding gene isolated from petunia (Petunia hybrida) and a gene encoding the enzyme flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase (F3', 5'H), a member of the NADPH-Cytochrome P450 reductase family, isolated from Viola. Expression of the F3', 5'H encoding gene (bp40) allows for the production of blue coloured delphinidin anthocyanin pigments, which are not normally found in carnations.
Tolerance to sulfonyl urea herbicides was produced via the introduction of a chlorsulfuron tolerant version of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) encoding gene from tobacco.
