“…The commercial exploitation of genome editing products and their public acceptance, however, will depend on proportionate, and hopefully world-wide consistent, regulatory frame as well as correct information (Custers 2017;Parry and Jose 2018;Eriksson et al 2019;Herman et al 2019).…”

Key message We review the main genes underlying commercial traits in cut flower species and critically discuss the possibility to apply genome editing approaches to produce novel variation and phenotypes. Abstract Promoting flowering and flower longevity as well as creating novelty in flower structure, colour range and fragrances are major objectives of ornamental plant breeding. The novel genome editing techniques add new possibilities to study gene function and breed new varieties. The implementation of such techniques, however, relies on detailed information about structure and function of genomes and genes. Moreover, improved protocols for efficient delivery of editing reagents are required. Recent results of the application of genome editing techniques to elite ornamental crops are discussed in this review. Enabling technologies and genomic resources are reviewed in relation to the implementation of such approaches. Availability of the main gene sequences, underlying commercial traits and in vitro transformation protocols are provided for the world's best-selling cut flowers, namely rose, lily, chrysanthemum, lisianthus, tulip, gerbera, freesia, alstroemeria, carnation and hydrangea. Results obtained so far are described and their implications for the improvement of flowering, flower architecture, colour, scent and shelf-life are discussed.

“…The initial proposal was submitted in early 2014 at which time the potential of CRISPR-mediated gene editing had not fully emerged. However through the allocation of funding for unspecified future events, the details of which would be decided by the GARNet advisory committee, it allowed the flexibility to organise events that focused on transformative gene-editing technologies which have reach across the entire plant science community (Parry et al, 2016;Parry and Jose, 2018;Parry and Harrison, 2019). Therefore important advice for any new network is to ensure that during the funding period there is reasonable flexibility to enable it to respond to unexpected technological developments.…”

Successful collaborative research is dependent on excellent ideas and innovative experimental approaches as well as the provision of appropriate support networks. Collaboration requires venues, infrastructures, training facilities and, perhaps most importantly, a sustained commitment to working together as a community. These activities do not occur without significant effort yet can be facilitated and overseen by the leadership of a research network that has a clearly defined role to help build resources for their community. Over the past twenty years, this is a role that the UKRI-BBSRC funded GARNet network has played in the support of the UK curiosity-driven, discovery-led plant science research community. This article reviews the lessons learnt by GARNet in the hope that they can inform the practical implementation of current and future research networks
