The product consists of carnation plants (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) derived from genetically modified<br>carnation lines 959A, 988A, 1226A, 1351A, 1363A and 1400A in which the following genes are<br>introduced:<br>- the dfr-gene, coding for dihydroflavonol reductase, derived from Petunia hybrida, under its own promoter and terminator;<br>- the bp40-gene, coding for flavonoid 3', 5' hydroxylase, derived from Viola sp., under control of the petal specific CHS promoter derived form Petunia hybrida and the D8 terminator derived from Petunia hybrida;<br>- the surB-gene, coding for acetolactate synthase protein, derived from Nicotiana tabacum, under control of the constitutive 35S promoter derived from cauliflower mosaic virus and the surB terminator derived from Nicotiana tabacum.<br>The product includes progeny derived through vegetative reproduction as well as progeny derived through crosses of the genetically modified carnation lines 959A, 988A, 1226A, 1351A, 1363A and 1400A with any traditionally bred non-genetically modified carnation plant.
