Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The production of cut flower dahlia has been increase in Japan. They are produced in winter time in protected culture regimes. The flowers of some cultivar is red in summer time but orange in winter. We have revealed the low temperature conditions which induces the flower with orange color. Moreover we have found the gene which expression is strongly influenced by low temperature and may play a role in the induction of flower with orange color.
