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.

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.

Dermal Morphology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vanilla Planifolia
Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Vol. 84 B, No. 5, 1976, pp. 173-179 Dermal morphology of Vanilla planifolia Andr. and V. wightii Lindl. B. K. NAYAR, F.A.Sc., RAJENDRA RAI AND P. VATSALA Department of Botany, Calicut University, Kerala 673635 MS received 8 April 1976 ABSTRACT In contrast to other Orchidaceae, the stomata in Va;ziila planifolia and V. wightii, are predominantly of the para-mesoperigenous type but the meristemoid is squarish as in other members of the family. 16~S of the stomata in V. planifclia and the stomata on the scale-leaves of V. wightii are of the aperigenous type; in V. planifolia, a few stomata (8~) are anisomesogenous (meristemoid triangular) and others (2~o) hemipara-mesop~rigenous. In V. Mghtii subsidiary cells of the para- mesoperigenous cauline stomata divide secondarily to form 5-7 subsidiary cells. Stomata are abundant on the stem of V. wightii (stomatal index-3.4) but sparse in V. planifolia (index-0.57). There is a progressive increase in stomatal index from base to apex of the leaf of V. planifolia. About 80~; of the the stomata in mature leaves of V. planifolia degenerate, as leaves get older.The epidermis is devoid of trichom~s in both species. In V. planifc.lia, each epidermal cell has a large crystal included in it. It is suggested that the stomatal types in Vanilla indicate the relationship of Orchidaceae to Hypoxidaceae, through Curculigo, which also has para- mesoperigenous stomata. 1. INTRODUCTION DIFFERENT Natural Orders, especially of the Monocotyledons, are reported to possess characteristic stomatal types and the aperigenous type is the rule in Orchidaceae.

National Parks in Madagascar
NATIONAL PARKS IN MADAGASCAR Madagascar’s National Parks are divided into 4 parts: Deciduous Forest, Eastern Rain Forests, Island and Coastal and Spiny Forests and in total have about 28 National Parks across the island worth visiting DECIDUOUS FOREST 1. Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park Normally included as a short stop between Isalo and Tulear, the forest of Zombitse- Vohibasia is in a transition zone between dry deciduous and spiny forest habitats. Birders will appreciate seeing Appert’s greenbul, found nowhere else, giant, Coquerel’s and olive-capped couas, as well as various vanga species. 2. Andringitra National Park A spectacular and biodiverse reserve with an altitude range of 500 to 2,658 metres and mountainous outcrops of ancient Precambrian granite, waterfalls, lakes and unusual vegetation. Pic Boby, Madagascar’s second highest mountain, is a tough climb, but there are other less challenging trails through some magnificent scenery and habitats, including lowland forest, high humid tropical forest, sclerophyll and bamboo forest, bush and heathland. It has much endemic flora and over 100 species of birds, as well as over 50 mammal species including mountain-adapted ring tailed lemurs with thick coats. The climate ranges from humid tropical in the lowland rainforests to below freezing at altitude – indeed, it is the only place in Madagascar where snow has been recorded. 3. Ankarafantsika National Park ( Ampijoroa) This prime example of tropical dry deciduous forest, combined with a lake harbouring Nile crocodiles and endangered Madagascar fish eagles, contains many other rare, endemic birds including Van Dam’s vanga, sickle-billed vanga and red-capped coua.

Pachypodium Namaquanum (Elephant's Trunk, Halfmens) Family Apocynaceae CITES Listing Appendix II Common Names Elephant's Trunk (Eng.); Halfmens (Afr.); Club Foot
SANBI IDentifyIt - Species Pachypodium namaquanum (Elephant's trunk, Halfmens) Family Apocynaceae CITES Listing Appendix II Common names Elephant's trunk (Eng.); Halfmens (Afr.); Club Foot. Geographic location / distribution / province Richtersveld (Northern Cape and southern Namibia) in the Gariep Region or Orange River region Distinguishing characteristics Description: A succulent plant that can attain a tree-like appearance when fully grown.Usually single-stemmed succulent plant or small tree, growing extremely slowly. The stem will grow up to 25 cm in diameter and the height may range between 1.5 and 2.5 m when fully grown; however, 4 and 5 m specimens have been observed. Stem: It has a cylindrical trunk, that thicksets at the base and tapering to the top that gives them an unmistakable bottle-like appearance when mature. The stems are mostly unbranched but may become branched from near the base or - where damaged - the trunk produces side-branches that immediately curve back to the vertical, while the very top of the plant is usually bent to the north. Spines: The stems are covered with warty tubercles (knob-like projections on the stem), from which sharp spines protrude in a slightly downward direction. The spines are more abundant along the top half of the plant and decrease toward the base where tubercles are more prominent. Fruit: Horn-like with twin pencil-thin tapering seedpods/capsules in a V-shape (joined at the base) up to 50 mm long. Short, soft and grey hairs densely cover the fruit.. These are pale brown and split down one side to release the wind- dispersed plumed seeds which are about 4mm long and are attached to a tuft of whitish hairs that act as parachutes.

We observed seed coat formation of the species in every 10 days after pollination. The ovule develops into a nucellar ﬁlament with 6 to 8 nucellar cells at the time of anthesis prior to artiﬁcial pollination. The inner integument differentiates at 20 days after pollination. The outer integument differentiates at 30 days after pollination. The cells of the outermost layer of the outer integument start to thicken at 40 days after pollination. Dark material starts to accumulate in the outer and lateral cell walls of the outermost layer of the outer integu- ment at 50 days after pollination. The dark material accumulates further at 60 to 80 days, while the inner integument has degenerated at 80 days. The thickened cell walls with dark material occupy the whole cell cavity and the cells become sclerotic at 120 days after pollination.

Phylogeny of the Plant Genus Pachypodium (Apocynaceae)
Phylogeny of the plant genus Pachypodium (Apocynaceae) Dylan O. Burge1, Kaila Mugford2, Amy P. Hastings3 and Anurag A. Agrawal3 1 Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada 2 Department of Neurosciences, University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio, USA 3 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA ABSTRACT Background. The genus Pachypodium contains 21 species of succulent, generally spinescent shrubs and trees found in southern Africa and Madagascar. Pachypodium has diversified mostly into arid and semi-arid habitats of Madagascar, and has been cited as an example of a plant group that links the highly diverse arid-adapted floras of Africa and Madagascar. However, a lack of knowledge about phylogenetic relation- ships within the genus has prevented testing of this and other hypotheses about the group. Methodology/Principal Findings. We use DNA sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS and chloroplast trnL-F region for all 21 Pachypodium species to re- construct evolutionary relationships within the genus. We compare phylogenetic results to previous taxonomic classifications and geography. Results support three infrageneric taxa from the most recent classification of Pachypodium, and suggest that a group of African species (P. namaquanum, P. succulentum and P. bispinosum) may deserve taxonomic recognition as an infrageneric taxon. However, our results do not resolve relationships among major African and Malagasy lineages of the genus. Conclusions/Significance. We present the first molecular phylogenetic analysis of Pachypodium. Our work has revealed five distinct lineages, most of which correspond to groups recognized in past taxonomic classifications. Our work also suggests that Submitted 31 January 2013 there is a complex biogeographic relationship between Pachypodium of Africa and Accepted 26 March 2013 Madagascar.
