ICAR-NRC for Orchids Pakyong, Sikkim, India, majorly focused on collection, characterization, K e yw or ds evaluation, conservation and utilization of genetic resources available in the country particularly in north-eastern region and developed a National repository of Orchids, Collection, Conservation, orchids. From 1996 to till date, several exploration programmes carried across the Utilization country and a total of 351 species under 94 genera was collected and conserved at Article Info this institute. Among the collections, 205 species were categorized as threatened species, followed by 90 species having breeding value, 87 species which are used Accepted: in traditional medicine, 77 species having fragrance and 11 species were used in 15 September 2019 traditional dietary.

Using the “Seidenfaden collection” in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia.

  • Plastome Structure and Adaptive Evolution of Calanthe S.L. Species
    Plastome structure and adaptive evolution of Calanthe s.l. species Yanqiong Chen, Hui Zhong, Yating Zhu, Yuanzhen Huang, Shasha Wu, Zhongjian Liu, Siren Lan and Junwen Zhai Key Laboratory of National Forestry and Grassland Administration for Orchid Conservation and Utilization at College of Landscape Architecture, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China Fujian Ornamental Plant Germplasm Resources Innovation & Engineering Application Research Center, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China ABSTRACT Calanthe s.l. is the most diverse group in the tribe Collabieae (Orchidaceae), which are pantropical in distribution. Illumina sequencing followed by de novo assembly was used in this study, and the plastid genetic information of Calanthe s.l. was used to investigate the adaptive evolution of this taxon. Herein, the complete plastome of five Calanthe s.l. species (Calanthe davidii, Styloglossum lyroglossa, Preptanthe rubens, Cephalantheropsis obcordata, and Phaius tankervilliae) were determined, and the two other published plastome sequences of Calanthe s.l. were added for comparative analyses to examine the evolutionary pattern of the plastome in the alliance. The seven plastomes ranged from 150,181 bp (C. delavayi) to 159,014 bp (C. davidii) in length and were all mapped as circular structures. Except for the three ndh genes (ndhC, ndhF, and ndhK ) lost in C. delavayi, the remaining six species contain identical gene orders and numbers (115 gene). Nucleotide diversity was detected across the plastomes, and we screened 14 mutational hotspot regions, including 12 non-coding regions and two gene regions. For the adaptive evolution investigation, three species showed positive selected genes compared with others, C.

  • Research Priorities and Future Directions in Conservation of Wild Orchids in Sri Lanka: a Review
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2020. 5(Suppl.1): 34–45 https://dx.doi.org/10.24189/ncr.2020.029 RESEARCH PRIORITIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN CONSERVATION OF WILD ORCHIDS IN SRI LANKA: A REVIEW J. Dananjaya Kottawa-Arachchi1,*, R. Samantha Gunasekara2 1Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka 2Lanka Nature Conservationists, Sri Lanka *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: 24.03.2020. Revised: 22.05.2020. Accepted: 29.05.2020. Together with Western Ghats, Sri Lanka is a biodiversity hotspot amongst the 35 regions known worldwide. Considering the Sri Lankan orchids, 70.6% of the orchid species, including 84% of the endemics, are categorised as threatened. The distribution of the family Orchidaceae is mostly correlated with the distribution pattern of the main bioclimatic zones which is governed by the amount and intensity of rainfall and altitude. Habitat deterioration and degradation, clearing of vegetation, intentional forest fires and spread of invasive alien species are significant threats to native species. Illegally collection and exporting of indigenous species has been another alarming issue in the past decades. Protection of native species, increased public awareness, enforcement of legislation and introduction of new propagation techniques would certainly bring a beneficial effect to the native orchid flora. Conduct awareness programs, strengthen existing laws, and reviewing the legal framework related to the native orchid flora could be vital for future conservation. Apart from the identification of new species and their distribution, future research on understanding soil chemical and physical parameters of terrestrial habitats, plant association of terrestrial orchids, phenology patterns and interactions of pollinators, associations with mycorrhiza, effect of invasive alien species and impact of climate change are highlighted.

Our base is in Sichuan, Southwest China, in one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world, the Hengduan Mountains System (synonym Mountains of Southwest China), home to about 400 orchid species and the Giant Panda. Our laboratory and subtropical nursery in Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital, as well as the alpine nursery beds in North Sichuan are the tools for in vitro propagation and subsequent raising of a wide range of Chinese orchids, with our specialty be- ing slipper orchids (Cypripedium & Paphiopedilum, but also Phragmipedium and Mexipedium). We create also orchid hybrids and our modern laboratory is further engaged in the production of fruit crop plants and medicinal herbs. Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology is registered with the State Forestry Agency (SFA, the CITES authority of the Peoples Republic of China), as in-vitro propagation facility of CITES appendix I & II orchids and grower of these artificially produced plants. We legally export flasks as well as seedlings of all stages from recently deflasked to flowering size of Paphiopedilum, Cypripedium and many other types of or- chids to North America, the European Union, Japan and other countries. Because the paperwork for every single export involves 7 different governmental agencies with 12 steps, and requires at least 3 months (usually more), we only export once or twice a year to a given region.
