".....The molecule that gives flowers their true blue color, known as anthocyanin, is very finicky. Anthocyanin is a blue pigment, but it can easily shift toward red or purple, depending on the sugar
To create the blue chrysanthemum, the Japanese researchers needed to first engineer the flower to produce anthocyanin. The introduction of the anthocyanin-producing gene caused the normally pinkish red flower to appear purple.
The next step was to nudge it closer to “true blue,” which they did by adding a gene that would add a sugar molecule to the anthocyanin." epocket
