Plants exhibiting a phenotype upon a controlled induction and methods of generation thereof

A genetically modified plant, comprising a recombinant nucleic acid molecule that encodes for at least one gene, wherein upon controllable induction of expression of said gene in one or more parts thereof, said genetically modified plant exhibits a phenotypic change at a predesigned location;

• wherein said recombinant nucleic acid molecule further comprises a binding site for a transcription factor of said gene;
• and
• wherein the phenotypic change is an expression of any one of:
• enzymes involved in pigments, metabolites and terpenes.

A method for generating a genetically modified plant comprising:

• (a) transforming a plant cell in a plant tissue or plant part with a recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding at least one gene, wherein said at least one gene is capable of affecting a phenotypic change in a plant part;
• and wherein upon induction of expression of said gene, said genetically modified plant exhibits a visible phenotypic change at the location of the induction, wherein said recombinant nucleic acid molecule further comprises a binding site for a transcription factor of said gene, and wherein the phenotypic change is an expression of any one of:
• enzymes involved in pigments, metabolites and terpenes;
• (b) regenerating a transformed plant from said plant cell;
• and
• (c) performing induction of said at least one gene when the plant is fully grown.
