Genetic Transformation of Dianthus caryophyllus (Carnation)

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 34))

Abstract

The carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is one of the world’s most important cut flowers. Figures from the Dutch flower auctions place carnation behind only rose and chrysanthemum in wholesale value. Carnation production is a very important segment of the horticultural industry in Colombia, Kenya, Israel and Italy as well as a significant, economically important, activity in Holland, France and California. Large-scale propagation and flower production is carried out in many other countries. On a global scale, carnations account for about 9% of all cut flowers traded at the wholesale level and represent a market worth approximately 1.2 billion US dollars per annum (Pertwee 1990).
