Abstract:
The Biotechnology can help to create variability, preserve biodiversity, and select superior genotypes that are crucial for attractive plant growth. The flower industry demands the emergence of novel traits in decorative plants. However, the majority of ornamental plants have minimal genetic information and high heterozygosity, which has hindered breeding efforts. Consequently, using biotechnological methods like genetic engineering offers a different way to get flowers with altered traits. A new realm of possibilities regarding plant sciences has opened up with the development of CRISPR/Cas9, and it has promising uses in floriculture. Future advancements in genome editing techniques will change the market for ornamental plants. Traditional breeding techniques and biotechnological approaches have been combined to improve floral color, appearance, and disease resistance.
