TLDR
It is expected that the latter types, the Miros group, will soon completely supersede the spontaneous or radiation-induced Horim sports and mutants and take over the leading position of the Horim group in the production of all-year-round (AYR) cut flowers.
Abstract
Radiation-induced sports in Chrysanthemum morifolium Ram. have been reported for several years. It has become an everyday practice to produce flower-colour mutants from outstanding cross-breeding products, even before they are distributed for the commercial production of cut flowers.

Recent trends in the biotechnology of Chrysanthemum: a critical review

TL;DR: An overview of the regeneration of chrysanthemum by direct and indirect organogenesis, embryogenesis from explants and embryo rescue is presented, and the use of these techniques in association with several biotechnological methods to enrich the genome of chrysanhemum is reviewed.

A study of some factors affecting Agrobacterium transformation and plant regeneration of Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev (syn. Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.)

TL;DR: Histological analysis of explants revealed that shoot regeneration initially occurred from the cells of the epidermis and subsequently from the cortex, and the cells which were susceptible to T-DNA transfer were confined to the vascular tissue.
