Desperately seeking cerulean

Article Abstract:

Geneticists have identified many factors involved in the [potential creation of a solid blue flower, but such a flower is not likely to be developed any time soon. The presence of the pigment anthocyanins is required for blueness in flowers, and geneticists have managed to alter parts of the biosynthetic process to promote anthocyanin production, mainly through manipulating the enzymes chalcone synthase and dihydroflavanol reductase.
