Accepted 1 March, 2012 The present study was conducted to examine the potential use of water plantain (Alisma canaliculatum A. Br. et Bouche) and mistletoe (Viscum album L.) as alternative feed additives for broiler chickens. A total of 140 Ross broiler chicks were assigned to four dietary treatments over a five-week period. The dietary groups included; control (basal diet), antibiotic (basal diet + 0.005% oxytetracycline), water plantain (basal diet + 0.5% water plantain powder), and mistletoe (basal diet + 0.5% mistletoe powder). Results indicated that body weight gain and feed intake were not affected by the addition of water plantain and mistletoe to the diet. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the water plantain and mistletoe groups did not differ from the control group, although a better FCR was observed in the antibiotic group compare to the water plantain group. Crude protein as well as crude fat content of both breast and thigh meat in the water plantain group decreased, whereas crude protein content in breast meat was increased by the addition of mistletoe to the diet. -

In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. ,e nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. ,e success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids. -

Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? and How!
Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? And How! SYNOPSIS This is an historical sketch of the Saga of Orchids in Hawaii. The sequence of events from the incidental introduction of species by the Agriculturists for the Sugar Industry; to their efforts in propagation and culture, hybridizing and germination; to the development of personal nurseries to commercial ranges; and ultimately to the creation of a viable orchid industry, re cognized world wide; to the natural formation of orchid societies staging of orchid shows; and finally to the introduction of a system of orchid judging , should bring interesting reading to orchidists, amateur and professional alike. In fact, this could serve as a reference syllabus to keep. DO ORCHIDS GROW IM HAWAII? AMD HOW i Compiled and Edited by Dr. T. David Woo and Wallace K.

Chromosome Numbers and Cross-Compatibility in the Genus Cymbidium and Some Related Tropical Genera (Orchidaceae)
CHROMOSOME NUMBERS AND CROSS-COMPATIBILITY IN THE GENUS CYMBIDIUM AND SOME RELATED TROPICAL GENERA (ORCHIDACEAE) A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HORTICULTURE AUGUST 1977 By Kenneth W. Leonhardt Dissertation Committee: Yoneo Sagawa, Chairman Haruyuki Kamemoto Henry Y. Nakasone Philip E. Parvin William L. Theobald We certify that we have read this dissertation and that in our opinion it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Horticulture. DISSERTATION COMMITTEE (7 'Cry^o , w A Chairman Chromosome Numbers and Cross-Compatibility in the Genus Cymbidium and Some Related Tropical Genera (Orchidaceae) Abstract Investigations on chromosome numbers and cross-compatibility were made with species and hybrids of Cymbidium and other tropical genera of the family Orchidaceae. Chromosome number determinations were made of 163 plants. One hundred nineteen counts of Cymbidium clones were made of which 92 are reported for the first time. Diploid, triploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and aneuploid individuals were determined. Triploid cultivars of two species, C. insigne 'Bierii' and C. pumilum 'Yashima' were found. Forty- four counts of intergeneric hybrids and genera other than Cymbidium were made. The hybrid status of 17 progenies of intergeneric pollinations was determined by analysis of somatic chromosome numbers. Nine plants derived from colchicine treated protocorms were identified as polyploids; 8 being euploid and 1 a mixoploid. The origin of the polyploid nature of some of the hybrids not subjected to colchicine treatments is dis cussed. It was verified cytologically that Cymbidium did hybridize with Ansellia and Catasetum. -

Received: 9 September 2013; in revised form: 8 November 2013 / Accepted: 18 November 2013 / Published: 26 November 2013 Abstract: Hanbang, the Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), is an inseparable component of Korean culture both within the country, and further afield. Korean traditional herbs have been used medicinally to treat sickness and injury for thousands of years. Oriental medicine reflects our ancestor’s wisdom and experience, and as the elderly population in Korea is rapidly increasing, so is the importance of their health problems. The proportion of the population who are over 65 years of age is expected to increase to 24.3% by 2031. Cognitive impairment is common with increasing age, and efforts are made to retain and restore the cognition ability of the elderly. Herbal materials have been considered for this purpose because of their low adverse effects and their cognitive-enhancing or anti-dementia activities. -
The Plants Are Pseudobulbous Terrestrials, with Large Plicate Year's
Taxonomic revision of the genus Acanthephippium (Orchidaceae) S.A. Thomas Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, England (Drawings by the author) Summary This is revision of the Blume. Eleven Seven a genus Acanthephippium species are recognised. names are time A. A. A. A. here for the first reduced to synonymy (A. lycaste, odoratum, papuanum, pictum, sim- plex, A. sinense, and A. thailandicum). Introduction Acanthephippium is a genus of eleven species distributedin Southeast Asia from Sri Lanka to Nepal and north to Japan, all over the Malesian Archipelago and in many islands in the Pacific. The genus was established by Blume in 1825 with one species, Acanthephippium javanicum. The generic name is derived from two Greek roots: acantha (thorn) and ephippion (sad- dle), the former referring to the long slender column, and the latter to the saddle-shaped lip. Blume (1825) first published the generic name as Acanthophippium, an orthographi- his cal error which he corrected in the preface of Flora Javae (1828). The older spelling authors. I have followed who stated: "Since was followed by several Sprague (1928) the spelling Acanthophippium contains a definite (and apparently unintentional) orthographic the of the initial letter of and the alteration error, namely missing ephippium (a saddle) to Acanthephippium involves no risk of confusion or error, the latter spelling should be adopted." The plants are pseudobulbous terrestrials, with large plicate leaves. The inflorescence is lateral from the new year's growth, and much shorter than the leaves so that the flowers are mostly displayed low downon the plant. The flowers are large and fleshy, usually 3-4 lesser fused into cm long. -
Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-Encoded Gene Matk
Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-encoded Gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences K. W. Hilu, Chair E. Beers G. Gillaspy J. Sible R. A. Walker February 9, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: MatK, chloroplast, maturase, fast-evolving, Orchidaceae Copyright 2006, Michelle Marie Barthet Expression and Function of the chloroplast-encoded gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet ABSTRACT The chloroplast matK gene has been identified as a rapidly evolving gene at nucleotide and corresponding amino acid levels. The high number of nucleotide substitutions and length mutations in matK has provided a strong phylogenetic signal for resolving plant phylogenies at various taxonomic levels. However, these same features have raised questions as to whether matK produces a functional protein product. matK is the only proposed chloroplast-encoded group II intron maturase. There are 15 genes in the chloroplast that would require a maturase for RNA splicing. Six of these genes have introns that are not excised by a nuclear imported maturase, leaving MatK as the only candidate for processing introns in these genes. Very little research has been conducted concerning the expression and function of this important gene and its protein product. It has become crucial to understand matK expression in light of its significance in RNA processing and plant systematics. In this study, we examined the expression, function and evolution of MatK using a combination of molecular and genetic methods. Our findings indicate that matK RNA and protein is expressed in a variety of plant species, and expression of MatK protein is regulated by development. -

Chromosome Numbers and Polyploidy Events in Korean Non-Commelinids Monocots: a Contribution to Plant Systematics
pISSN 1225-8318 − Korean J. Pl. Taxon. 48(4): 260 277 (2018) eISSN 2466-1546 https://doi.org/10.11110/kjpt.2018.48.4.260 Korean Journal of REVIEW Plant Taxonomy Chromosome numbers and polyploidy events in Korean non-commelinids monocots: A contribution to plant systematics Tae-Soo JANG* and Hanna WEISS-SCHNEEWEISS1 Department of Biological Science, College of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea 1Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research, University of Vienna, A-1030 Vienna, Austria (Received 4 June 2018; Revised 9 September 2018; Accepted 16 December 2018) ABSTRACT: The evolution of chromosome numbers and the karyotype structure is a prominent feature of plant genomes contributing to or at least accompanying plant diversification and eventually leading to speciation. Polyploidy, the multiplication of whole chromosome sets, is widespread and ploidy-level variation is frequent at all taxonomic levels, including species and populations, in angiosperms. Analyses of chromosome numbers and ploidy levels of 252 taxa of Korean non-commelinid monocots indicated that diploids (ca. 44%) and tet- raploids (ca. 14%) prevail, with fewer triploids (ca. 6%), pentaploids (ca. 2%), and hexaploids (ca. 4%) being found. The range of genome sizes of the analyzed taxa (0.3–44.5 pg/1C) falls well within that reported in the Plant DNA C-values database (0.061–152.33 pg/1C). Analyses of karyotype features in angiosperm often involve, in addition to chromosome numbers and genome sizes, mapping of selected repetitive DNAs in chro- mosomes. All of these data when interpreted in a phylogenetic context allow for the addressing of evolution- ary questions concerning the large-scale evolution of the genomes as well as the evolution of individual repeat types, especially ribosomal DNAs (5S and 35S rDNAs), and other tandem and dispersed repeats that can be identified in any plant genome at a relatively low cost using next-generation sequencing technologies.
