Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Torenia is a summer bedding plant that has excellent cultivation characteristics such as tolerance to high temperature and adaptability to a wide range of light conditions from shade to sun. However, since there are only single- and small-flowered cultivars, the variation of ornamentality is relatively poor. In this study, the integration of four different types of mutations caused by transposon successfully induced double flowers with a large number of radially-arranged petals. In addition, the underlying morphological features and molecular mechanisms of the double flower were partially elucidated.
