FLANAGAN1,2 & ANA TERESA MOSQUERA-ESPINOSA1 1Departamento de Ciencias Naturales y Matemáticas, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana-Cali, Colombia 2 Author for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The natural vanilla essence is obtained principally from the fruits of the species Vanilla planifolia, a member of the Vanilla aromatic clade, and native to the neo-tropics. Colombia is an important center of diversity for the genus with 22 Vanilla species reported, of which 18 belong to the aromatic clade. Colombian native Vanilla species comprise important genetic resources for the vanilla crop. Although there is no tradition of cultivation of vanilla in the country, these species have potential for establishment in sustainable agroforestry systems. Nonetheless, Vanilla, like many orchid species, is subject to both intrinsic and extrinsic conservation threats. This article outlines an integrated strategy for conservation, incorporating in situ, ex situ and circa situm measures to ensure the conservation of Vanilla species in Colombia, and to promote their sustainable use in community-based cultivation programs. This proposed strategy is also relevant for conservation managers in other countries with native Vanilla species. KEY WORDS: Vanilla crop wild relatives, mycorrhizal fungi, in situ, ex situ, circa situm conservation, Vanilla Endophyte Collection Introduction.

The species has morphological features similar to those of species in the Vanilla planifolia group. It is an impor- tant addition to the vanilla crop wild relatives, bringing the total number of species in the V. planifolia group to 21. Vanilla denshikoira is a narrow endemic, known from only a single locality, and highly vulnerable to anthropological disturbance. Under IUCN criteria it is categorized CR. The species has potential value as a non-timber forest product. We recommend a conservation program that includes support for circa situm actions implemented by the local communities. Introduction The natural vanilla flavour is derived from the cured seedpods of orchid species in the genus Vanilla Plumier ex Miller (1754: without page number). Vanilla is one of the most economically important crops for low-elevation humid tropical and sub-tropical regions, and global demand for this natural product is increasing.

  • GENETIC DIVERSITY STUDY of Vanilla Planifolia G. Jackson, Syn. V
    i GENETIC DIVERSITY STUDY OF Vanilla planifolia G. Jackson, syn. V. fragrans CROP GROWN IN TANZANIA USING MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES. BY CONSTANTINE BUSUNGU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CROP SCIENCE OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2009 ii ABSTRACT Natural vanilla (Vanilla planifolia G. Jackson, syn. V. fragrans) is native to the tropic forest of Mexico. It is now cultivated in humid tropical areas of Africa, America, Asia and Australia continents. In Tanzania it had been cultivated since 1940s in Kagera region but decline in coffee prices in the world market in the 1990s resulted into more cultivation of the vanilla crop as an alternate crop in Kagera and Kilimanjaro regions. Vanilla which had a remarkable high price compared to coffee was consequently spread and grown in Tanga, Morogoro regions and Zanzibar Island. A study was undertaken to identify cultivars and examine the extent of genetic diversity of Vanilla planifolia using molecular technique. A total of 126 samples were randomly taken from Bulinda, Bakabuye and Kibona villages in Kagera Region, Mkunazini and Donge village in Zanzibar Island and Mudio and Kidia villages in Kilimanjaro Region. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction method that was used in this research was the Dellaporta protocol. DNA quantification was done by comparing band intensity of different concentrations of standard genomic DNA markers using agarose gel electrophoresis. For the optimization of PCR, three different components; dNTPs, Taq DNA polymerase and MgCl2 were tested in different combinations.Ten primers were selected for the Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) reactions.

  • Molecular Analysis of Vanilla Mosaic Virus from the Cook Islands
    Molecular Analysis of Vanilla mosaic virus from the Cook Islands Christopher Puli’uvea A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) 2017 School of Science I Abstract Vanilla was first introduced to French Polynesia in 1848 and from 1899-1966 was a major export for French Polynesia who then produced an average of 158 tonnes of cured Vanilla tahitensis beans annually. In 1967, vanilla production declined rapidly to a low of 0.6 tonnes by 1981, which prompted a nation-wide investigation with the aim of restoring vanilla production to its former levels. As a result, a mosaic-inducing virus was discovered infecting V. tahitensis that was distinct from Cymbidium mosaic virus (CyMV) and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) but serologically related to dasheen mosaic virus (DsMV). The potyvirus was subsequently named vanilla mosaic virus (VanMV) and was later reported to infect V. tahitensis in the Cook Islands and V. planifolia in Fiji and Vanuatu. Attempts were made to mechanically inoculate VanMV to a number of plants that are susceptible to DsMV, but with no success. Based on a partial sequence analysis, VanMV-FP (French Polynesian isolate) and VanMV-CI (Cook Islands isolate) were later characterised as strains of DsMV exclusively infecting vanilla. Since its discovery, little information is known about how VanMV-CI acquired the ability to exclusively infect vanilla and lose its ability to infect natural hosts of DsMV or vice versa. The aims of this research were to characterise the VanMV genome and attempt to determine the molecular basis for host range specificity of VanMV-CI.
