2001/07/11 Elhuyar Zientzia

The Brazilian organization of Pesquisa Agropecuaria has recently announced the growth of colored sunflowers. This organization carries out a genetic research of plants for the Brazilian government.

Genetically modified sunflower petals can be yellow, brown, red-purple, oranges, blue, green. GM sunflowers are slightly lower than conventional ones and have thinner and weaker stems. Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of sunflower oil who want to use their transgenic sunflowers to produce oil.
