Anthocyanins as Flower Pigments [E-Book] : Feasibilities for flower colour modification / by Th. Mulder-Krieger, R. Verpoorte.
To date, several possibilities exist to change the genetics of plants including classical breeding and modern molecular biological approaches such as recombinant DNA techniques and plant trans formation methods. The aim of this publication is to review the feasibilities, offered by the current tech...
