Received: 2009.08.28; Accepted: 2009.11.26; Published: 2009.12.02 Abstract The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences alignment and proteomic difference of Anoectochilus interspecies have been studied by means of ITS molecular identification and surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrography. 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.

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.

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure. In this study, we analyse nucleotide sequences of plastid and nuclear DNA under maximum parsimony

The basal ½ MS, MS and Knud medium were tested and shown to be equally suitable of them for shoot culture after 8 weeks. The maintaining of culture until 12 weeks, growth of protocorms was superior in MS to that in ½ MS and Knud medium. Other cultures were initiated from shoots inoculated onto MS medium supplemented individually with six different concentrations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (Kn). The highest number of shoots was obtained on medium supplemented with 0.6 mg l-1 BAP (4.4 ± 0.5 shoot/explant). Out of all the investigated concentrations of Kn, the best result was obtained on medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 Kn (3.3 ± 0.3 shoot/explant). In sugar study, results show that the shoot, root and leaf formation was significantly enhanced as the sugar concentration was decreased. Medium supplemented with 2% (w/v) sucrose was the best compared to the other treatments and sugar at a concentration of 5% (w/v) induced the formation of large size seedlings.

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.

Sagare, Uei-Chin Chen, Shu-Ru Yang, and Hsin-Sheng Tsay* Department of Agronomy, Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute, Wufeng, Taichung 41301, Taiwan (Received June 14, 2001; Accepted October 25, 2001) Abstract. Anoectochilus formosanus is an important ethnomedicinal plant of Taiwan. We have optimized a method for mass propagation of A. formosanus by artificial cross-pollination and asymbiotic germination of seeds. The success of pollination and fruit set was found to be dependent on the developmental stage of male and female gametophytes. Fruit set of hand-pollinated flowers was 86.7%. The seeds from 7-week-old capsules were germi- nated by culturing on half-strength Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 0.2% activated char- coal and 8% banana homogenate for four months. Germinated seedlings were cultured in half-strength liquid MS medium containing 2 mg/l N6-benzyladenine (BA) in 125-ml Erlenmeyer flasks for two months. Before ex vitro establishment of seedlings, seedlings with well-developed rhizomes and shoots were cultured on half-strength MS medium with 0.2% activated charcoal, 8% banana homogenate, 2 mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l a-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for further growth. Around 90% seed-derived plants survived two months after transfer to peat moss:ver- miculite potting mixture and incubation in the growth chamber.

In this study, the stem explants of Ludisia discolor were used as experimental materials to investigate the effects of 6-BA, NAA, Cu2+ and Ag+ on the induction of adventitious bud regeneration, and to analyze the most suitable culture conditions for stem explants regeneration. The results showed that when the medium was supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-BA, 0.75 mg/L NAA, 0.25 mg/L CuSO4, or 6.4 mg/L AgCl, the best regeneration effects would be gained, respectively. And the adventitious bud regeneration rate reached the maximum, which were 61.67%, 83.67%, 80.95% and 87.63%, respectively.

P. Linder2 and H. Kurzweil2'3 CLASSIFICATION OF THE DISEAE (ORCHIDOIDEAE: ORCHIDACEAE)l ABSTRACT The subtribal classification of the Diseae (Orchidoideae) is reviewed in light of the available morphological, leaf anatomical, and palynological data. 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.
