Usually by mid-May we will start to see some of early blooming native orchids showing their colours. Two of the earliest to bloom are the Moccasin Flower (Cyp. acaule) and the Showy Orchid or Showy Orchis (Galearis spectabilis – which sounds like a magic spell from Harry Potter to me). If you find yourself hiking in a pine forest that is slightly damp, look for the Moccasin Flower. Or if you are in a mature hardwood forest, keep your eyes open for the much smaller Showy Orchid amongst the trilliums, hepatica and ferns.

  • JUDD W.S. Et. Al. (1999) Plant Systematics
    CHAPTER8 Phylogenetic Relationships of Angiosperms he angiosperms (or flowering plants) are the dominant group of land Tplants. The monophyly of this group is strongly supported, as dis- cussed in the previous chapter, and these plants are possibly sister (among extant seed plants) to the gnetopsids (Chase et al. 1993; Crane 1985; Donoghue and Doyle 1989; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994). The angio- sperms have a long fossil record, going back to the upper Jurassic and increasing in abundance as one moves through the Cretaceous (Beck 1973; Sun et al. 1998). The group probably originated during the Jurassic, more than 140 million years ago. Cladistic analyses based on morphology, rRNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences do not support the traditional division of angiosperms into monocots (plants with a single cotyledon, radicle aborting early in growth with the root system adventitious, stems with scattered vascular bundles and usually lacking secondary growth, leaves with parallel venation, flow- ers 3-merous, and pollen grains usually monosulcate) and dicots (plants with two cotyledons, radicle not aborting and giving rise to mature root system, stems with vascular bundles in a ring and often showing sec- ondary growth, leaves with a network of veins forming a pinnate to palmate pattern, flowers 4- or 5-merous, and pollen grains predominantly tricolpate or modifications thereof) (Chase et al. 1993; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994; Donoghue and Doyle 1989). In all published cladistic analyses the “dicots” form a paraphyletic complex, and features such as two cotyle- dons, a persistent radicle, stems with vascular bundles in a ring, secondary growth, and leaves with net venation are plesiomorphic within angio- sperms; that is, these features evolved earlier in the phylogenetic history of tracheophytes.

  • Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-Encoded Gene Matk
    Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-encoded Gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences K. W. Hilu, Chair E. Beers G. Gillaspy J. Sible R. A. Walker February 9, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: MatK, chloroplast, maturase, fast-evolving, Orchidaceae Copyright 2006, Michelle Marie Barthet Expression and Function of the chloroplast-encoded gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet ABSTRACT The chloroplast matK gene has been identified as a rapidly evolving gene at nucleotide and corresponding amino acid levels. The high number of nucleotide substitutions and length mutations in matK has provided a strong phylogenetic signal for resolving plant phylogenies at various taxonomic levels. However, these same features have raised questions as to whether matK produces a functional protein product. matK is the only proposed chloroplast-encoded group II intron maturase. There are 15 genes in the chloroplast that would require a maturase for RNA splicing. Six of these genes have introns that are not excised by a nuclear imported maturase, leaving MatK as the only candidate for processing introns in these genes. Very little research has been conducted concerning the expression and function of this important gene and its protein product. It has become crucial to understand matK expression in light of its significance in RNA processing and plant systematics. In this study, we examined the expression, function and evolution of MatK using a combination of molecular and genetic methods. Our findings indicate that matK RNA and protein is expressed in a variety of plant species, and expression of MatK protein is regulated by development.

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.

  • Techniques for the Collection, Transportation, and Isolation of Orchid Endophytes from Afar: a Case Study from Madagascar Lawrence W
    Zettler et al. Bot Stud (2017) 58:54 DOI 10.1186/s40529-017-0209-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Techniques for the collection, transportation, and isolation of orchid endophytes from afar: a case study from Madagascar Lawrence W. Zettler1*, Landy Rajaovelona2, Kazutomo Yokoya3, Jonathan P. Kendon3, Andrew L. Stice1, Amanda E. Wood1,4 and Viswambharan Sarasan3 Abstract Background: Tropical orchids need more study with respect to their mycorrhizal associations. For researchers in distant countries who aspire to study these orchids augmenting their conservation, the great distances involved, coupled with limited funds, pose formidable challenges. These challenges are sometimes exacerbated by political unrest, delays in securing permits, unexpected hardships, and the risk that the biological samples collected (e.g., roots harboring mycorrhizal fungi) will not survive long-distance transport. Results: We describe a protocol for the collection and transport of root samples from Madagascar orchids to labs in the United Kingdom (Kew) and the United States (Illinois) where Rhizoctonia-like fungi were subsequently iso- lated. Three separate trips were made spanning 4 years (2012–2015), with emphasis on the collection of roots from epiphytic, lithophytic, and terrestrial orchids inhabiting the Itremo Massif of the Central Highlands. Collectively, the trips to Madagascar resulted in the isolation of all major groups of Rhizoctonia-like fungi (Ceratobasidium, Tulasnella, Sebacina) from all three orchid growth forms (terrestrials, epiphytes and lithophytes). Sampling of terrestrial and epi- phytes during the rainy season (January) yielded best results. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that peloton-forming fungi in root samples can retain viability up to 3 weeks after collection.

Is there a difference in response to disturbance, or resource limitation, by similar taxa based on micro-site habitat heterogeneity? For this study we examined how fire and moisture availability influences the distribution of terrestrial and lithophytic orchids specific to Madagascar’s granite outcrops (inselbergs). We compared orchid density in an area with a complex mosaic of burned and non-burned vegetation patches (three years after the event).

This terrestrial habitat-specific genus received little study for fungal diversity to support conservation. We evaluated the diversity of culturable fungi of 11 species and soil characteristics from six sites spanning a >40 km radius in and along the region’s inselbergs. Peloton-forming fungi were grown in vitro from root/protocorm slices and positively identified using DNA sequencing. The fungal diversity - was then correlated with soil pH, NO3 N, P, and K. All species harbored either putative mycorrhizal associates in the Rhizoctonia complex or Hypocreales fungi.

Société Française d’Orchidophilie 17 Quai de la Seine, 75019 Paris Foreword The first European Orchid Council Conference and Exposition (EOCCE) was organized in 1967 in Vienna. The second conference followed 2 years later in 1969, together with the Floralies in Vincennes, Paris. 19 years later, in 1988 the EOCCE was again in Paris, the conference program was in a building at the Trocadero, the orchid exhibition was in a tent on the Champs de Mars, both localities with the perfect view to the most famous landmark of Paris, the Eiffel-tower.
