“…For the purpose of determining the most appropriate promoter for the expression of the chrysanthemum gene, the EF1α promoter, which includes the elongation factor 1α protein, was coupled with the GUS gene and introduced into the C. morifolium cv. Ramat strain [17]. Chrysanthemum plants that had been transgenic displayed high levels of GUS expression as well as petal-based transgene expression, which was mediated by the 35S CaMV promoter.…”

Modern floriculture faces unprecedented challenges in meeting the rising global demand for flowers while addressing environmental concerns and the need for sustainability. This paper explores the transformative role of biotechnology in revolutionizing flower farming practices, offering solutions for sustainable and resilient cultivation. The integration of biotechnological tools such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, and molecular breeding techniques has opened new avenues for enhancing the efficiency and resilience of flower crops. Genetic modification allows the development of varieties with improved traits, such as disease resistance, longer vase life, and enhanced stress tolerance. Tissue culture facilitates the rapid propagation of elite plant material, ensuring consistent and high-quality flower production. Furthermore, molecular breeding enables the precise selection of desirable traits, accelerating the traditional breeding process. The use of molecular markers for disease resistance, flower colour, and fragrance can streamline the development of new flower varieties tailored to market preferences. Additionally, advanced omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomic, and metabolomics, provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying flower development and responses to environmental stress. Biotechnological interventions extend beyond genetic improvements, encompassing sustainable cultivation practices. Precision agriculture, enabled by sensor technologies and data analytics, optimizes resource utilization, minimizing environmental impact. Smart irrigation systems, nutrient management, and pest control strategies contribute to the efficient use of resources and reduced ecological footprint. The biotechnological frontier in modern floriculture not only addresses current challenges but also positions the industry to adapt to future uncertainties. Climate change, emerging pests, and shifting market demands necessitate resilient flower farming systems. Biotechnology offers the tools to develop adaptable flower varieties and sustainable production methods, promoting long-term ecological and economic viability.

“…Transcriptome data are available for chrysanthemums [ 10 , 11 ], osmanthus [ 12 ], petunia [ 13 ], hydrangea [ 14 ], lavender [ 15 ], and carnation [ 16 ]. The chloroplast genome sequence is also available for a few ornamental plants [ 17 ]. Genome sequence information on important decorative plant species would be immensely beneficial in ornamental plant breeding and research following the debut of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in 2005.…”

Demand of flowers is increasing with time worldwide. Floriculture has become one of the most important commercial trades in agriculture. Although traditional breeding methods like hybridization and mutation breeding have contributed significantly to the development of important flower varieties, flower production and quality of flowers can be significantly improved by employing modern breeding approaches. Novel traits of significance have interest to consumers and producers, such as fragrance, new floral color, change in floral architecture and morphology, vase life, aroma, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, have been introduced by genetic manipulation. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system has recently emerged as a powerful genome-editing tool for accurately changing DNA sequences at specific locations. It provides excellent means of genetically improving floricultural crops. CRISPR/Cas system has been utilized in gene editing in horticultural cops. There are few reports on the utilization of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in flowers. The current review summarizes the research work done by employing the CRISPR/Cas9 system in floricultural crops including improvement in flowering traits such as color modification, prolonging the shelf life of flowers, flower initiation, and development, changes in color of ornamental foliage by genome editing. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing could be useful in developing novel cultivars with higher fragrance and enhanced essential oil and many other useful traits. The present review also highlights the basic mechanism and key components involved in the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
