Selectra First Class is an international plant breeding company with a high technology plant breeding unit called Ornamental Bioscience. Selectra is a leading breeder of poinsettias as well as many other types of flowers.

The Ornamental Bioscience unit was formed in a merger with Mendel Biotechnology. Mendel has discovered ways to control flowering in poinsettias and other flowers that make them easier to grow.

The virtual monopoly on commercial poinsettia production by the Paul Ecke family for almost 80 years is a great example of floral industry economics.

Paul Ecke developed a technique for making poinsettias grow multiple branches from a single stem. The creates a fuller more colorful poinsettia plant we are accustomed to seeing at Christmas.

The Ecke family kept this a secret of poinsettia cultivation until around 1996 when university researchers were able to independently make the same discovery.

The result has been good for consumers, since poinsettias are much more plentiful and therefore less expensive than before.

The Paul Ecke Poinsettia Ranch had a virtual monopoly of poinsettias that lasted almost 80 years. About 1996 university researchers finally discovered the process to grow poinsettias with many colorful blooms.
