University of Cape Town BOLUS LIBRARY 1 ABSTRACT The perennation of orchids is poorly understood, in particular that of the Orchidoidae. The understanding of perennation in the Orchidoidae is important because the root-stem tuberoid .is used as the one character defining the Orchidoidae as a monophyletic group. The root-stem tuberoid has never been examined for variation before. This project focuses on perennial growth in the Diseae in order to study the structbre and function of the root stem tuberoid in relation tp other organs and to contribute to the understanding of Orchidoid phylogeny. , INTRODUCTION Host te1perate monocotyledons have evolved underground resting or perennating organs for the climatically unfavourable season (Holttum 1955). A period of underground existence may allow a plant to escape unfavourable conditions, to counter environmental uncertainty, and to build reserves for flowering episodes (Calvo 1990). This is especially evident in the temperate members of the Orchidaceae and is made possible through sympodial growth· (Withnerj1974). Not .all temperate orchids have a resting period although they do have sympodial growth and do perennate.

Results showed that variety certification on Anoectochilus by ITS sequences can not determine spe- cies, and there is proteomic difference among Anoectochilus interspecies. Moreover, pro- teomic finger printings of five Anoectochilus species have been established for identifying spe- cies, and genetic relationships of five species within Anoectochilus have been deduced ac- cording to proteomic differences among five species.

  • Orchids: 2017 Global Ex Situ Collections Assessment
    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex situ Collections Assessment Botanic gardens collectively maintain one-third of Earth's plant diversity. Through their conservation, education, horticulture, and research activities, botanic gardens inspire millions of people each year about the importance of plants. Ophrys apifera (Bernard DuPon) Angraecum conchoglossum With one in five species facing extinction due to threats such (Scott Zona) as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, botanic garden ex situ collections serve a central purpose in preventing the loss of species and essential genetic diversity. To support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, botanic gardens create integrated conservation programs that utilize diverse partners and innovative techniques. As genetically diverse collections are developed, our collective global safety net against plant extinction is strengthened.

  • Phylogeny, Character Evolution and the Systematics of Psilochilus (Triphoreae)
    THE PRIMITIVE EPIDENDROIDEAE (ORCHIDACEAE): PHYLOGENY, CHARACTER EVOLUTION AND THE SYSTEMATICS OF PSILOCHILUS (TRIPHOREAE) A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Erik Paul Rothacker, M.Sc. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Doctoral Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John V. Freudenstein, Adviser Dr. John Wenzel ________________________________ Dr. Andrea Wolfe Adviser Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology Graduate Program COPYRIGHT ERIK PAUL ROTHACKER 2007 ABSTRACT Considering the significance of the basal Epidendroideae in understanding patterns of morphological evolution within the subfamily, it is surprising that no fully resolved hypothesis of historical relationships has been presented for these orchids. This is the first study to improve both taxon and character sampling. The phylogenetic study of the basal Epidendroideae consisted of two components, molecular and morphological. A molecular phylogeny using three loci representing each of the plant genomes including gap characters is presented for the basal Epidendroideae. Here we find Neottieae sister to Palmorchis at the base of the Epidendroideae, followed by Triphoreae. Tropidieae and Sobralieae form a clade, however the relationship between these, Nervilieae and the advanced Epidendroids has not been resolved. A morphological matrix of 40 taxa and 30 characters was constructed and a phylogenetic analysis was performed. The results support many of the traditional views of tribal composition, but do not fully resolve relationships among many of the tribes. A robust hypothesis of relationships is presented based on the results of a total evidence analysis using three molecular loci, gap characters and morphology. Palmorchis is placed at the base of the tree, sister to Neottieae, followed successively by Triphoreae sister to Epipogium, then Sobralieae.

  • Thesis for Library
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2006 Macro-evolutionary studies in the orchid genus Satyrium Sw. and other genera from the Cape Floristic Region (South Africa) van der Niet, Timotheüs Abstract: Satyrium ist eine Orchideen-Gattung mit 90 Arten, die in Süd-, Ost-, und Westafrika sowie auf Madagaskar und in Südostasien vorkommt. Die Gattung ist morphologisch sehr vielfältig und tax- onomisch komplex. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden DNA-Sequenzen benutzt, um einen evolutionären Stammbaum von Satyrium zu erstellen. Dieser Stammbaum zeigt, dass die traditionelle Taxonomie nicht mit den Verwandtschaftsverhältnissen übereinstimmt. Ferner wird gezeigt, dass einige Arten durch Hy- bridisierung entstanden sein könnten. Durch Beobachten der Bestäubung von Satyrium wurde eine enge Verbindung zwischen Blütenmerkmalen und den jeweiligen Bestäubern gefunden. Es konnte gezeigt wer- den, dass die Pflanzen ihre Bestäuber im Verlaufe der Evolution häufig wechselten. Abschliessend wurde untersucht, wie dieser Bestäuberwechsel mit der Artbildung zusammenhängt. Satyrium is an orchid genus with 90 species that is distributed throughout southern, eastern, and western Africa, Madagascar, and south-east Asia. It harbours a great deal of morphological diversity which has complicated traditional taxonomy. Here we use DNA sequences to reconstruct a species-level phylogeny. This phylogeny reveals that previous taxonomy was incongruent with evolutionary relationships. Furthermore I demonstrate that some taxa may have originated through hybridization. Using pollinator observations for about one third of the species, I show the link between morphology and being pollinated by a certain pollinator, as well as that there have been frequent shifts between pollinators throughout evolutionary history.

These data are critically assessed, and the more prominent features are illustrated. The data are analyzed cladistically, and the robustness of the various components of the most parsimonious tree is assessed by a bootstrap analysis. Based on the cladistic analysis and the bootstrap analysis, a new classification is proposed for the Diseae.

Is there a difference in response to disturbance, or resource limitation, by similar taxa based on micro-site habitat heterogeneity? For this study we examined how fire and moisture availability influences the distribution of terrestrial and lithophytic orchids specific to Madagascar’s granite outcrops (inselbergs). We compared orchid density in an area with a complex mosaic of burned and non-burned vegetation patches (three years after the event).

  • Using the Checklist N W C
    Using the checklist • The arrangement of the checklist is alphabetical by family followed by genus, grouped under Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons. • All species and synonyms are arranged alphabetically under genus. • Accepted names are in bold print while synonyms or previously-used names are in italics. • In the case of synonyms, the currently used name follows the equals sign (=), and only refers to usage in Zimbabwe. • Distribution information is included under the current name. • The letters N, W, C, E, and S, following each listed taxon, indicate the known distribution of species within Zimbabwe as reflected by specimens in SRGH or cited in the literature. Where the distribution is unknown, we have inserted Distr.? after the taxon name. • All species known or suspected to be fully naturalised in Zimbabwe are included in the list. They are preceded by an asterisk (*). Species only known from planted or garden specimens were not included. Mozambique Zambia Kariba Mt. Darwin Lake Kariba N Victoria Falls Harare C Nyanga Mts.

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) in seven species and one variety of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) in Cuba has been sequenced. Although the eight taxa have been taxonomically divided into two subgenera such as Isoloba and Pinguicula with the other species grown in the other regions, and further they are divided into three sections such as Agnata, Discoradix and Homophyllum. The taxa of Pinguicula in Cuba formed a single clade, and it was not consistent with the current taxonomy based on morphology. Six taxa of Pinguicula in Cuba studied have been classified in section Agnata together with MexicanPinguicula agnata and P. ibarrae, however, they were not ITS-phylogenetically, fully or partially supported by the data. Although the Cuban taxa of Pinguicula were quite different in morphology and life form from each other, they were ITS-phylogenetically close relatives to each other.
