It is the key constituent of the natural vanilla flavour obtained from cured vanilla pods. Here we show that a single hydratase/lyase type enzyme designated vanillin synthase (VpVAN) catalyses direct conversion of ferulic acid and its glucoside into vanillin and its glucoside, respectively. The enzyme shows high sequence similarity to cysteine proteinases and is specific to the substitution pattern at the aromatic ring and does not metabolize caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid as demonstrated by coupled transcription/translation assays.

Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 25 (6), 1143–1150 Vanilla planifolia is cultivated in the tropical climate and primarily grown in Madagascar, Indonesia, China and Mexico. Pilot-scale cultivation of V. planifolia was trialed under greenhouse conditions in the United Arab Emirates. V. planifolia cut- tings were obtained from India and it was grown through vegetative propagation. The cuttings of 50 cm long were planted in the soil-compost substrate at 4:1 ratio and irrigated with freshwater (water salinity 263 μS/cm). Every three months plant-based compost was added at a rate of 4 kg m-2. The height of the vanilla plant was maintained at 1.5 m and vines were supported by galvanized pipes covered by ropes. The manual pollination method was carried out upon blooming. Pods were harvested man- ually when the tip turned light brown. Mature pods were graded, blanched, dried and packaged. 20 kg fresh pods obtained from the ten vanilla plants produced 4 kg processed and dried pods after curing by blanching and drying.

  • 65 Possibly Lost Orchid Treasure of Bangladesh
    J. biodivers. conserv. bioresour. manag. 3(1), 2017 POSSIBLY LOST ORCHID TREASURE OF BANGLADESH AND THEIR ENUMERATION WITH CONSERVATION STATUS Rashid, M. E., M. A. Rahman and M. K. Huda Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Abstract The study aimed at determining the status of occurrence of the orchid treasure of Bangladesh for providing data for Planning National Conservation Strategy and Development of Conservation Management. 54 orchid species are assessed to be presumably lost from the flora of Bangladesh due to environmental degradation and ecosystem depletion. The assessment of their status of occurrence was made based on long term field investigation, collection and identification of orchid taxa; examination and identification of herbarium specimens preserved at CAL, E, K, DACB, DUSH, BFRIH,BCSIRH, HCU; and survey of relevant upto date floristic literature. These species had been recorded from the present Bangladesh territory for more than 50 to 100 years ago, since then no further report of occurrence or collection from elsewhere in Bangladesh is available and could not be located to their recorded localities through field investigations. Of these, 29 species were epiphytic in nature and 25 terrestrial. More than 41% of these taxa are economically very important for their potential medicinal and ornamental values. Enumeration of these orchid taxa is provided with updated nomenclature, bangla name(s) and short annotation with data on habitats, phenology, potential values, recorded locality, global distribution conservation status and list of specimens available in different herbaria. Key words: Orchid species, lost treasure, Bangladesh, conservation status, assessment. INTRODUCTION The orchid species belonging to the family Orchidaceae are represented mostly in the tropical parts of the world by 880 genera and about 26567 species (Cai et al.

  • Biodiversity and Evolution in the Vanilla Genus
    1 Biodiversity and Evolution in the Vanilla Genus Gigant Rodolphe1,2, Bory Séverine1,2, Grisoni Michel2 and Besse Pascale1 1University of La Reunion, UMR PVBMT 2CIRAD, UMR PVBMT, France 1. Introduction Since the publication of the first vanilla book by Bouriquet (1954c) and the more recent review on vanilla biodiversity (Bory et al., 2008b), there has been a world regain of interest for this genus, as witnessed by the recently published vanilla books (Cameron, 2011a; Havkin-Frenkel & Belanger, 2011; Odoux & Grisoni, 2010). A large amount of new data regarding the genus biodiversity and its evolution has also been obtained. These will be reviewed in the present paper and new data will also be presented. 2. Biogeography, taxonomy and phylogeny 2.1 Distribution and phylogeography Vanilla Plum. ex Miller is an ancient genus in the Orchidaceae family, Vanilloideae sub- family, Vanilleae tribe and Vanillinae sub-tribe (Cameron, 2004, 2005). Vanilla species are distributed throughout the tropics between the 27th north and south parallels, but are absent in Australia. The genus is most diverse in tropical America (52 species), and can also be found in Africa (14 species) and the Indian ocean islands (10 species), South-East Asia and New Guinea (31 species) and Pacific islands (3 species) (Portères, 1954). From floral morphological observations, Portères (1954) suggested a primary diversification centre of the Vanilla genus in Indo-Malaysia, followed by dispersion on one hand from Asia to Pacific and then America, and on the other hand from Madagascar to Africa. This hypothesis was rejected following the first phylogenetic studies of the genus (Cameron, 1999, 2000) which suggested a different scenario with an American origin of the genus (160 to 120 Mya) and a transcontinental migration of the Vanilla genus before the break-up of Gondwana (Cameron, 2000, 2003, 2005; Cameron et al., 1999).

Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 21 January 2020; Published: 24 January 2020 Abstract: This is an extensive review on epiphytic plants that have been used traditionally as medicines. It provides information on 185 epiphytes and their traditional medicinal uses, regions where Indigenous people use the plants, parts of the plants used as medicines and their preparation, and their reported phytochemical properties and pharmacological properties aligned with their traditional uses. These epiphytic medicinal plants are able to produce a range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, and a total of 842 phytochemicals have been identified to date. As many as 71 epiphytic medicinal plants were studied for their biological activities, showing promising pharmacological activities, including as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agents. There are several species that were not investigated for their activities and are worthy of exploration.

But due to its rarity, it took more than 100 years for the species to be rediscovered in two other localities. This paper describes the first record of V. montana in Negeri Sembilan with preliminary notes on its floral development and some highlights on the ecological influences. We also proposed a conservation status for the species. The data obtained will serve as an important botanical profile of the species, and it will add to our knowledge gaps on the distribution of this distinctive orchid in Malaysia.

Southern Africa is home to approximately 494 terrestrial and epiphytic orchid species, of which, 49 are used in African traditional medicine to treat cough and diarrheal symptoms, madness, promote conception, relieve pain, induce nausea, and expel intestinal worms and for many cultural practices. The biological activity and chemical composition of South African medicinal orchid species are yet to be explored fully. In this review we highlight the potential for pharmacological research on South African medicinal orchid species based on their traditional medicinal uses. © 2010 SAAB. Published by Elsevier B.V.
