After 20 years of research, they have finally created Blue roses, masterminded by Australian-based Florigene Ltd. subsidiary of Suntory Ltd., a Japanese company. The firm has invested three billion yen in the creation of blue roses, blue carnations and other blue flowers since 1990. The flowers, which were displayed at the International Flower Expo Tokyo, will go on sale commercially next Autumn. The flowers are genetically engineered, and implanted with a gene that simulates the synthesis of a blue pigment Delphinidin.
