Discolor flower in test tube

Under the help of young biologist Duong Tan Nhut, two female students of the Department of Biology at the University of Natural Sciences (National University of Ho Chi Minh City) have successfully researched the breeding of flower torenia ( Torenia ourieri ), at Laboratory at Da Lat Biology Institute.

Studying and experimenting in two years 2004-2005, student Pham Minh Thu used biological techniques for purple torenia flowers to bloom in vitro, with plants formed from stem leaf embryos planted from seeds. .

After that (from 8-2005 up to now), student Nguyen Ngoc Thi studied the process of causing reactions on the growth of young plants by means of impact by microelements to alter the biological structure of plants. . Accordingly, a new beautiful torenia flower has been created, giving the flower white instead of purple (photo) .
