What is a double flower?
Double flower is a plant in which other petals are present, giving flowers full or double appearance. Since the prices since antiquity, it has been somewhat difficult to cultivate double flowers, because many of them are sterile and must be cut rather than simple spread. Genetic studies have shown that a double flower is the result of a specific genetic mutation that rarely occurs in the wild.
Some types of flowers are more likely to double flower than others. Roses, camenia, peonies and carnations normally show double flowers. If you want to find out if the flower is a double flower rather than a lot of petals, look carefully at the structure of the flower petals; If it appears to have a fully structured flower in another fully structured flower, it is probably a double flower.
Most modern hybridized roses are likely to show a double flower due to genetic manipulation through breeding. RosesThe old world often have one layer of petals are quite fine, while modern varieties of tea usually have a layer of petals, causing fat and full flowers. When searching for pink plants, look in the scientific name for the term flore diaper, usually a shortcut to fl. Pl. , which means that pink has a double flower. The term comes from Latin words for "fully flowering" and plants carrying this term can produce at least some double flowers.
problems with rare occurrence and breeding associated with double flowers have been a mystery for thousands of years. Only with the development of genetic science has to live flowers with more baked. According to a genetic study conducted at the University of California in San Diego, a double flower is the result of three genes mutating in a flowering plant. When this mutation occurs rather than producing the male and female genital organs of most Květin, the plant constantly produces asexual petals called sepals . The lack of sexual organs caused by mutations answers the age question why breeding double flowers is so difficult.
Double flowers are valued for their healthy and full look and can be found in many different varieties of flowers. Horticultural catalogs, kindergartens and shops with garden supplies are good places to find double flowers for the garden. Some gardeners recommend avoiding planting double flowering plants in particularly cold areas, because it is believed that this may disrupt the production of double flowers.
