African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB), a new broad-based journal, is an open access journal that was founded on two key tenets: To publish the most exciting research in all areas of applied biochemistry, industrial microbiology, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, food and agricultural technologies, and metabolic engineering. Secondly, to provide the most rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for teaching and reference purposes. All articles published in AJB are peer-reviewed.

Received 25 July, 2016; Accepted 21 September, 2016 Orchids are among the most beautiful flowers and endangered due to habitat destruction and over- collection. Cattleya walkeriana is one of the most beautiful flowers joining the small sized plant with medium large and heavily scented flowers. It is widely known and appreciated by its beautiful clones and it has much to offer to breeders because their plants have besides other attributes as small habit and big flowers, many colour variations, form and precocity, becoming flower only four years in ex vitro culture. However, in some of the original places it is becoming a red listed species. Notwithstanding, very little is known about the genetics of these flowers and the variability in the species that is widespread in the Brazilian territory. The aim of this work was to estimate the variability among cultivated materials using the F statistics and to verify if there was inbreeding in plant crosses with similar characteristics, employing as a tool the RAPD simple methodology. The results obtained showed that RAPD was good enough to estimate the variability in C.

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF TRIBE EPIDENDREAE WITH EMPHASIS ON SUBTRIBE LAELIINAE (ORCHIDACEAE) A thesis submitted to the University of Reading for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Cássio van den Berg October 2000 Department of Botany, School of Plant Sciences, University of Reading and Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ABSTRACT In this project, the phylogenetic relationships of tribe Epidendreae, especially subtribe Laeliinae were assessed by using DNA sequence data. At the tribal level, I used data from three DNA regions, namely internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS), and plastid matK (gene and spacers) and trnL-F (intron, exon and spacer). After individual and combined phylogenetic analysis using parsimony, it was possible to delimit Epidendreae as an exclusively Neotropical tribe (composed of subtribes Laeliinae, Pleurothallidinae, Ponerinae, Bletiinae and Chysinae). It is still unclear whether Coeliinae and Calypsoeae should be also included in Epidendreae. All Old World subtribes placed in Epidendreae in Dressler’s (1993) system belong to different tribes of subfamily Epidendroideae. The revised subtribe Bletiinae is composed only of Bletia, Hexalectris and Basiphyllaea. All Old World genera previously placed in Bletiinae belong also to Old World groups. Arpophyllum (previously Arpophyllinae) and Meiracyllium (previously Meiracyllinae) should be included in Laeliinae. Neocogniauxia and Dilomilis belong to a clade sister to Pleurothallidinae. Ponera, Isochilus and Helleriella (previously in the Scaphyglottis alliance within Laeliinae) belong to a recircumscribed version of Ponerinae, which is sister to Bletiinae. Two other datasets were collected to investigate in more detail phylogenetic relationships within Laeliinae. The first dataset used 295 ITS sequences to assess generic delimitation and species phylogenies.

D.) Isolation and molecular characterization of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene in Cattleya spp. Miss Chanthra Timclub Abstract The plant hormone ethylene is known to stimulate a wide variety of plant response to flower senescence and fruit ripening. A gene in ethylene synthetic pathway, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene, was identified from flower of Cattleya spp. Lucky Strike variety. In this study, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) methods were used to amplify the ACC oxidase sequences. The cDNA of ACC oxidase (ACO) was cloned and characterized. The cDNA from Cattleya-ACOs, open reading frame (ORF) and 3’untranslated region (3’UTR), were 1,081 nucleotides in length. The sequence was further analysed by comparing with other ACC oxidase genes in GenBank Database. The results show that major difference between Cattleya spp. located at 3’UTR while the amino acid sequence alignment indicated high percent identity at 96.7%. In addition, the amino acid sequence of Cattleya-ACC oxidase was compared with 11 ACC oxidase genes of other plants from Genbank database. Ascorbate binding domains, ACC binding domain, ferrous ion binding domain, bicarbonate binding domain, leucine zipper and basic zipper domain were found in all ACOs.
