Unauthorized genetically engineered orange petunias were found on the market. Genetic engineering of petunia was shown to lead to novel flower color some 20 years ago. Here we show that petunia lines with orange flowers, generated for scientific purposes, apparently found their way to petunia breeding programmes, intentionally or unintentionally. Today they are widely available, but have not been registered for commerce.
市场上发现了未经授权的基因工程橙色矮牵牛。大约20年前,矮牵牛的基因工程被证明能产生新的花色。我们在此表明,为科学目的培育的橙色花朵矮牵牛品系显然有意或无意地进入了矮牵牛育种计划。如今它们广泛可得,但尚未进行商业注册。
