ALT0 is interesting and verified. The article is long enough and new enough. No copyright violations, correct inline citations. The image is freely licensed and it is eye catching. The article is neutral and well written and the QPQ is done. Overall great work on the genetically modified organism! I think our readers will love it. I just have a question about the lack of italics for the word petunia. Also there is no mention of the genus of this plant, I think it would apply even though it is not a naturally occurring color in the petunias. So lets work that out.

- stalked from ezlev's talk page There is Petunia, a genus of 20 flowers, and there is a petunia, a flower within that genus. The first is italicized, the second isn't – and then there's Petunia Dursley, undoubtedly the nastiest of the three. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 22:24, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- What leek said, Bruxton, on the italicization front (and I agree with her on Petunia Dursley as well). I've added the species (Petunia × hybrida per the sources) to the article and infobox – thanks for catching that! And for the review, of course ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 23:29, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
