  • Orchid Research Newsletter No. 29
    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 71 January 2018 "All science is either physics or stamp collecting." This statement, attributed to Ernest Rutherford, is perhaps my favourite example of the either-or fallacy. Science is either physics or stamp collecting. Rather condescending towards a field like biology, isn't it? Perhaps we should be grateful that 'stamp collecting' is still allowed to hide under the Science umbrella. But nonsense is nonsense, whatever the reputation of the person who said it. For what we have here is a false dilemma. It's not a matter of either-or. 'Physics' and 'stamp collecting' are more like two extremes of a continuum (and I would suggest that pure mathematics rather than physics occupies one extremity). All science is a mixture of observation, classification, induction and deduction, in various proportions. Even Rutherford's own field of particle physics has an element of stamp collecting in it. Is there so much difference between classifying and describing subatomic particles and classifying and describing orchids? It seems to me that the main difference lies in the difficulty of making observations. It can be enormously complicated and expensive to observe an elementary particle, whereas observing an orchid requires at most a decent microscope (admittedly, finding the orchid in the first place can be challenging). Nor is it the case that the physicist's particles are embedded in a theory and the species of the biologist are not. I would argue that species are theoretical constructs almost as much as electrons and Higgs bosons are. Species exist in space and time; we can never observe them directly in all their aspects.

Posee más de 4000 especies de orquídeas dentro de su territorio sin embargo debido al acelerado proceso de deforestación motivado por la tala indiscriminada de bosque primario, la explotación del petróleo, la minería y la utilización del suelo destinado a monocultivos ha ocasionado que se pierda gran parte del hábitat natural de estas plantas y por ende la desaparición de un importante número de especies en estado natural. Las orquídeas no se propagan con mayor facilidad en condiciones naturales, es debido a esto que durante muchos años quienes las poseían fueron coleccionistas y científicos en general.

  • 7Th International Orchid Conservation Congress
    7TH INTERNATIONAL ORCHID CONSERVATION CONGRESS Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 28 May – 1 June 2019 Welcome to Kew! The International Orchid Conservation Congress (IOCC) series started in Western Australia in 2001, and subsequent meetings were held in Florida, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, La Réunion and Hong Kong. At the meeting in Hong Kong, it was decided that IOCCVII should be held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The title for IOCCVII is “Orchid Conservation: the Next Generation”, and we hope that the focus will be on the importance of involving the next generation of orchid conservation biologists and on the use of next-generation techniques. We are delighted to welcome more than 150 delegates from around the world to share their experiences of orchid conservation with each other. Orchids are among the most highly threatened groups of plants, with threats to orchids including habitat destruction, legal and illegal trade and climate change. As a result, our mission to conserve orchids is of increasing importance – if we don’t act, then we may be the last generation to see some groups of orchids, notably slipper orchids, in the wild. We are grateful to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for the use of the venue and for logistical support. The Lennox Boyd Trust, the Linnean Society of London and Orchid Conservation International and friends and family of the late Amy Morris provided financial support which has allowed us to provide bursaries for orchid specialists from Developing Countries so that they can attend the congress. We have an exciting and busy programme – with many talks and posters and other events including a demonstration of orchid propagation, a “World Café” session on conservation planning (arranged with the Conservation Planning Specialist Group) and a meeting of the Orchid Specialist Group.

    Acta Botanica Brasilica 28(4): 489-494. 2014. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062014abb3158 In vitro propagation of Anathallis adenochila (Loefgr.) F. Barros (Orchidaceae), a species endemic to southern and southeastern Brazil Delio Endres Júnior1, Márcio Hisayuki Sasamori1 and Annette Droste1,2,3 Received: May 2, 2013. Accepted: November 26, 2013 ABSTRACT Anathallis adenochila is a small epiphytic orchid, endemic to the Atlantic Forest in the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil. Information on the species is scarce and limited to distribution and occurrence data, with no re- ports about its development. In the present study, plantlets were propagated in vitro, and the influence of different concentrations of macronutrient salts and sucrose on the survival and development of the species was assessed. The analysis were performed on complete Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium and half MS medium (with half-strength macronutrients) containing 10, 30 or 60 g L-1 of sucrose. Plantlet survival, height of the aerial part, and the length of the longest root were significantly greater on half MS medium containing 30 or 60 g L-1 of sucrose. The number of leaves per plantlet was higher in the presence of 60 g L-1 of sucrose, regardless of macronutrient concentration, and the highest number of roots was observed in plantlets cultured on half MS medium with 60 g L-1 of sucrose. This first report of Anathallis adenochila in vitro propagation may contribute to future studies on the physiological and ecological aspects of the life cycle of this species.

D.) Isolation and molecular characterization of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene in Cattleya spp. Miss Chanthra Timclub Abstract The plant hormone ethylene is known to stimulate a wide variety of plant response to flower senescence and fruit ripening. A gene in ethylene synthetic pathway, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene, was identified from flower of Cattleya spp. Lucky Strike variety. In this study, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) methods were used to amplify the ACC oxidase sequences. The cDNA of ACC oxidase (ACO) was cloned and characterized. The cDNA from Cattleya-ACOs, open reading frame (ORF) and 3’untranslated region (3’UTR), were 1,081 nucleotides in length. The sequence was further analysed by comparing with other ACC oxidase genes in GenBank Database. The results show that major difference between Cattleya spp. located at 3’UTR while the amino acid sequence alignment indicated high percent identity at 96.7%. In addition, the amino acid sequence of Cattleya-ACC oxidase was compared with 11 ACC oxidase genes of other plants from Genbank database. Ascorbate binding domains, ACC binding domain, ferrous ion binding domain, bicarbonate binding domain, leucine zipper and basic zipper domain were found in all ACOs.
