A flower is one of nature’s most beautiful creations — but gene engineers think they can make it even better. For the first time, Japanese researchers have turned chrysanthemums’ naturally pink or red ...

The land of the square watermelon has done it again: Japanese scientists have created the world's first blue chrysanthemums. They described their process and results in the journal Science Advances.

Roses are red, but science could someday turn them blue. That’s one of the possible future applications of a technique researchers have used to genetically engineer blue chrysanthemums for the first ...

New York City: A blue human is a cold, dead or sad human. We don’t want to be blue. And flowers don’t appear to, either. Less than 10 per cent of 400,000 floral species bear blue flowers. It’s unclear ...

Before synthetic dyes, people would use nature’s pigments to color fabrics. Dried insects were used to make reds, while saffron and even cow urine were used to dye things yellow. Blue required indigo ...

TOKYO >> A genuine blue chrysanthemum has been successfully created through genetic engineering, according to the team behind the project comprising researchers from Suntory Holdings Ltd. and the ...

Japanese scientists have genetically engineered a chrysanthemum flower that is "true blue" — a color that has long eluded flower breeders and researchers. Blue has proved a challenge to produce in ...
