Roses are coming soon

Scientists say they have found a way to modify the gene to get roses that give a sweeter, longer-lasting fragrance and bloom all year round.

According to the New York Times, French researchers have completed the genetic mapping of roses, thereby opening the opportunity to edit genes to produce pink blooms throughout the year and have many popular traits. in this flower in color, fragrance.

Research on comprehensive gene mapping of roses has been published in the scientific journal Nature Genetics.

Although there used to be a research work on the genetic map of roses, the version published by French scientists is considered to be the most comprehensive to date.

Accordingly, the scientists have discovered which genes regulate the scent, color and blooming time of roses.

Dr. Mohammed Bendahmane, co-author of the study, said: "I hope we can change these flowers in the future, helping them have a longer lifetime and longer time to radiate."

Not only opening the opportunity to improve the quality of rose varieties, genetic research of this flower will also help scientists find ways to help them reduce pests and also reduce water consumption. care process.
