Genetic Engineering and Tissue Culture of Roses

  • Chapter
Genetics and Genomics of Rosaceae

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 6))

The recent advances in rose genetics and in functional genetics described in the previous two chapters have improved our knowledge about interesting characteristics of the rose. Gene transfer technologies may facilitate the introgression of homologous or heterologous genes to improve major ornamental traits as e.g., scent, plant architecture and colour as well as biotic and abiotic stress responses and yield.
