    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

  • Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in Epiphytic Orchids: Current Knowledge, Future Perspectives
    4 Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in Epiphytic Orchids: Current Knowledge, Future Perspectives Gilberto Barbante Kerbauy, Cassia Ayumi Takahashi, Alejandra Matiz Lopez, Aline Tiemi Matsumura, Leonardo Hamachi, Lucas Macedo Félix, Paula Natália Pereira, Luciano Freschi and Helenice Mercier São Paulo University, Brazil 1. Introduction 1.1 Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) is one of three photosynthetic assimilation pathways of atmospheric CO2, together with the photosynthetic pathways C3 and C4 (Silvera et al., 2010a). The CAM is characterized by the temporal separation between CO2 fixation and its assimilation into organic compounds. In CAM plants, CO2 is fixed during the dark period through the action of the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which uses CO2 for carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), giving rise to oxaloacetate (OAA). The OAA formed is converted into malate by the action of malate dehydrogenase (MDH). Then, this organic acid is transported to the vacuole along with H+ ions, causing the typical nocturnal acidification of CAM plants. During the light period, the decarboxylation of malate and refixation of the CO2 by the enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (RUBISCO - C3 cycle) takes place in the cytosol, causing a decrease of acidity in the tissues (Herrera, 2009; Luttge, 2004; Silvera et al., 2010b) (Figure 1). The CAM pathway can be separated into four phases (Luttge, 2004; Osmond, 1978; Silvera et al., 2010b). Phase I is characterized by the opening of stomata during the night, the uptake and subsequent fixation of atmospheric CO2 by PEPC in the cytosol and the formation of organic acids, such as malate. Phase II consists of fixing CO2 by the enzyme RUBISCO and PEPC concurrently, a phase characterized essentially by the decrease in the activity of PEPC and the start of the activity of RUBISCO.

Received 25 July, 2016; Accepted 21 September, 2016 Orchids are among the most beautiful flowers and endangered due to habitat destruction and over- collection. Cattleya walkeriana is one of the most beautiful flowers joining the small sized plant with medium large and heavily scented flowers. It is widely known and appreciated by its beautiful clones and it has much to offer to breeders because their plants have besides other attributes as small habit and big flowers, many colour variations, form and precocity, becoming flower only four years in ex vitro culture. However, in some of the original places it is becoming a red listed species. Notwithstanding, very little is known about the genetics of these flowers and the variability in the species that is widespread in the Brazilian territory. The aim of this work was to estimate the variability among cultivated materials using the F statistics and to verify if there was inbreeding in plant crosses with similar characteristics, employing as a tool the RAPD simple methodology. The results obtained showed that RAPD was good enough to estimate the variability in C.

  • Orchid Research Newsletter No. 66
    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 66 When the Molecular Systematics Laboratory at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, first opened under the leadership of Mark Chase and Mike Bennett as Keeper of the Jodrell, the main target marker was rbcL for family-wide systematic studies of Orchidaceae and other families. Internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA were used for studies below the family level. Those of us unfortunate to have lived through those days of manual sequencing in the early 1990s know how laborious it was to label nucleotides with radioactive phosphorus 32 or sulfur 35 with all the safety measures that that entailed, pour polyacrylamide gels between two glass plates without even the smallest air bubble, expose the sequencing gel to x-ray film, and then manually call the bases one by one off the autoradiogram, hoping to get 100 bases of the more than 1300 base pairs in the rbcL sequence and then enter them into the computer database. In many cases, the results were ambiguous, which entailed judgment calls. And this did not even include data analysis with software much, much slower than today. All this work produced only a trickle of data and a lack of strong support for many branches leading to the major clades. Manna from heaven came in the form of automated sequencing later that decade. Automated sequencers used the Sanger method, which relied on the introduction of dideoxynucleotides into the growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase, creating fragments separated by size on the gel by electrophoresis. Nucleotides were labeled by fluorescent dyes rather than sulfur 35, and read by a laser.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity among native plants and some individuals obtained from crosses with unknown genealogy of C. walkeriana as well as C. loddigesii and C. nobilior and to advance towards solving the question of the genetic purity of the “Orchidglade” clone. Eight microsatellite loci were used to evaluate the genetic diversity between individuals of C. walkeriana. Microsatellites were not efficient in determining the genetic diversity between C. walkeriana groups (native and improved). The difficulty in determining the genetic distance between the different genotypes can be attributed to the complex mating system of the species and to a weak genetic barrier that facilitates the development of hybrids. Our analysis revealed smaller genetic distances between the “Orchidglade”, “Equilab”, “Kenny” and “Pedentive” clones and the species C. loddigesii and C. nobilior. Native C. walkeriana plants were genetically more distant from the C. loddigesii and C. nobilior species.

  • Orchid Judging
    ORCHID SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Orchid Judging Training Manual ORCHID JUDGING- TRAINING MANUAL FORWORD. This manual of training is designed to be one of many tools used in the training of an orchid judge. It is to be studied in conjunction with the books and articles listed in the Introduction to this manual and has been designed to complement, not replace the Australian Orchid Council Guidelines for Judging Handbook. This Manual combines resources from a number of sources including; Australian Orchid Council, Orchid Society of New South Wales, Queensland Orchid Society, Northern Territory Judging Panel, American Orchid Society. As well as the above ‘formal’ resources, this Manual recognises local panel rules and articles of interest by prominent Orchid personalities. Included in the Biography is a list of internet addresses and other resources which will provide information on orchid registration, orchid species and other related matters. Section 4 of this manual is designed as a series of stand-alone topics which can be addressed or studied in any order. It provides for learning reinforcement with an Assessment of Understanding of the topic. Homework will be included as an integral part of each topic. Some topics include a sub-section titled ‘Comparison with the American Orchid Society …’. This sub-section provides a comparison with the American Orchid Society’s training and judging system and is included because previous students found it beneficial.
