Recent advances in development of commercial rose by molecular breeding = 분자육종에 의한 장미 신품종 최근 개발 동향

Abstract

This report describes recent advances in tissue culture, genetic transformation of commercial rose(Rosa hybrida) and in development of new rose cultivars by molecular bredding. Rose is one of major cut-flowers in global horticulture industry. Successful progress were made in development of new culticars for oathogen resistant, enviormental stress resistant and petal color modification by molecular breeding. Mew cultivars, however, has not reported yet in korea, although lots of progress were achieved in each field of convential breeding, tissue culture and genetic transformation. Cooperation in these research rields will promote screening of useful genes to have specific traits om rose and exploiting of progresses to improve in the efficiency of tissue culture and genetic transformation of rose, therefore, we hopely expert that new rose cultivars by molecular breeding will be released in the mear future.
