The application discloses a
Cymbidium cultivation method capable of controlling gradual color change and a novel color
Cymbidium, and relates to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a fusion
expression vector containing a P2A self-cleavage
peptide, introducing the vector into
Agrobacterium to obtain an engineered
Agrobacterium, introducing the engineered
Agrobacterium into a
Cymbidium receptor material by using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method, and culturing, screening positive transformants by observing red
pigment accumulation under environmental light, and adjusting transformation conditions to realize the synergistic accumulation or different expression levels of anthocyanins and betalains. The method realizes independent expression of double genes from a single mRNA, realizes device-free screening by combining RUBY
visual marking, realizes
color gradient control by transformation condition regulation, can realize stable coexistence of anthocyanins and betalains in the same tissue of Cymbidium, creates novel colors such as a
purplish red color
system or a gradual color, and shortens the transformation period to 5 days.
