Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen or neon irradiation increased the frequency of flower color mutants after stem or leaf regeneration.
- Observation Anthocyanin assays separated Torenia mutants into two groups.
- Observation One Torenia mutant group had deletion of the blue DFR gene.
- Observation Another Torenia mutant group had deletion or duplication of a pigment production gene.
