BLUE ROSE

In June 2004, Suntory developed the world's first "blue rose" through the application of biotechnology. This result stemmed from 14 years of challenging a dream through research efforts dating back to 1990.
Blue roses were traditionally created by dyeing white roses, since roses lack a gene to produce delphinidin, the primary plant pigment that produces true blue flowers. So-called "blue roses" have been bred by conventional hybridization methods, but the results, such as "Blue Moon" are more accurately described as lilac in color. However, after 14 years of joint research by an Australian company Florigene, and Japanese company Suntory, a blue rose was created in June 2004 using genetic engineering. The delphinidin gene was cloned from the petunia and inserted into a mauve-blend rose, the Old Garden Rose . However, since the pigment cyanidin was still present, the rose was more dark burgundy than true blue. Further work on the rose using RNAi technology to depress the production of cyanidin produced a mauve coloured flower, with only trace amounts of cyanidin.

Suntory Ltd. is presently growing test batches of the genetically-modified blue roses in the United States and Australia, but plans to start marketing them in Japan in 2009.

Blue roses traditionally signify mystery or attaining the impossible. They are believed to be able to grant the owner youth or grant wishes. This symbolism derives from the rose's meaning in the language of flowers common in Victorian times.

Stop Global Warming

The Solution is You !

( The most urgent problem of our lifetime )

You, your family and your friends get off the couch and get onto the anti-climate change bus. One person can effect change on a global scale, not simply by donating money, but by pressuring the people closest to you and getting them to pressure their friends. Don't just read the newspaper,newsletter,journals and the like or see the documentry An Inconvenient Truth or so. Write letters to the editor and forward important articles and movies on to your friends. By the end of the day, you've started a "butterfly effect" to reverse climate change.
