SHD-06101-3
Rose OS10036101 flowers have a mauve colour due to the biosynthesis of the anthocyanin pigment delphinidin, which is not produced in non-transgenic rose. Viola sp. flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) and iris dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) were inserted to produce this blue-coloured delphinidin anthocyanin pigment. F3'5'H directs the production of an intermediate dihydromyricetin, which is then utilized as a substrate by iris DFR to produce delphinidin. A third gene gene cassette silences the expression of the endogenous rose DRF, which is responsible for the production of cyanidin, through the production of  double stranded RNA to cause RNA interference and thus prevent cyanidin production. The intermediate metabolites are then used for delphinidin biosynthesis instead. The rose additionally contains a selectable marker (kanamycin resistance), E. coli neomycin phosphotransferase II, for the selection of transformants during cloning.

A related LMO( http://bch.cbd.int/database/record.shtml?documentid=115379) has been generated using the same transformation vector and parent variety. That transformation event differs from SHD-06101-3 in the concentration of delphnidin in petals, resulting in a slightly different shade of flower colour. There are also slight differences in petal number and stem length.

Iris DFR
Transcription of the Iris sp. dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) is under the control of a Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 35S enhanced promoter and a Petunia hybrid phospholipid transfer protein homologue (D8) terminator. Transcription is expected to be constitutive and at high levels due to the CaMV 35S enhanced promoter.

RNAi cassette
The RNA interference (RNAi) cassette was designed to target the endogenous dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) gene. Transcription begins from the CaMV 35S enhanced promoter and terminates at an Agrobacterium tumefaciens mannopine synthase terminator. The transcript is expected to contain two complementary sections of DFR, which are expected to form a hairpin RNA (hpRNA) to trigger an RNAi response. Thus, no protein is expected to be produced from this transcript (see "Other gene(s) whose expression was affected by the transformation").

Pansy F3'5'H
The Viola sp. flavonoid 3’, 5’-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) gene is under the transcriptional control of a CaMV 35S enhanced promoter and an A. tumefaciens nopaline synthase terminator. Transcription is expected to be constitutive, occurring at elevated levels due to the CaMV 35S enhanced promoter.

Selectable marker
Transcription of the Escherichia coli neomycin phosphotransferase II gene is under the control of the A. tumefaciens nopaline synthase gene promoter and terminator.

Note:
- Iris sp. dihydroflavonol-4-reductase sequence corresponds to the cDNA of the transcript
- Viola sp. flavonoid 3’, 5’-hydroxylase sequence corresponds to the cDNA of the transcript
- None of the elements have been modified from the sequences registered in the BCH genetic element registry.

LMO characteristics
After transcription of the sense and anti-sense segments of the Rosa hybrida dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR), the transcript is expected to form a hairpin structure due to base pairing. This gives the transcript double strandedness, which elicits an RNAi response. The hpRNA complexes with DICER, which processes the hpRNA into small interfering RNA (siRNA). These siRNA then associate with ARGONAUTE proteins to form the RNA induced silencing complex, which actively targets the endogenous DFR transcripts for degradation and results in a reduction of DFR expression.
