FLO-4Ø686-3
The modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) was derived from the parental Moonvista™ carnation through vegetative propagation. The Moonstrike™ carnation differs from the parental variety in having a flecked, bi-colour flower colour pattern. The modified carnation contains  Petunia hybrida dihydroxflavonol-4 reductase and Viola sp. flavonoid 3' 5' hydroxylase, which together promoter biosynthesis of delphinidin and anthocyanin pigments. The pigment bioproduction results in petals that are eggplant purple in colour. The modified carnation additionally contains Nicotiania tabacum acetolactate synthase for chlorsulfuron selection during tissue culturing.

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.

Gene expression
Three gene cassettes are present: Nicotiania tabacum acetolactate synthase (ALS; acetohydroxy acid synthase), Petunia hybrida dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR) and Viola sp. flavonoid3', 5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H).

Transcription of ALS is under control of a Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and a N. tabacum ALS terminator. A 5' untranslated leader sequence from P. hybrida chlorophyll a/b-binding protein is also present at the 5' end of ALS, but is not expected to be translated. The leader sequence promotes high levels of transcription of ALS.

Transcription of DFR is under control of its endogenous promoter and terminator. The coding sequence contains 6 exons and 5 introns.

Transcription of F3'5'H is under control of an Antirrhinum majus chalcone synthase promoter and a P. hybrida D8 terminator.

Note:
- The size of the ALS coding sequence includes the size of the terminator (3.76 kb = size of ALS coding sequence + ALS terminator)
-  The size of the DFR coding sequence represents the size of the full genomic cone (4.96 kb = DFR promoter + DFR coding sequence + DFR terminator)
