Blume. The dynamic expression of vegetative gene Phalaenopsis Homeobox1 (POH1) and flowering time gene PaFT has been analyzed. Accumulation of mRNA was detected in shoot and leaves of both transgenic and non transgenic plants by using Reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) with specific gene primers...
These anomalous leafy shoots (usually occurring in the inflorescence), while sometimes useful for horticultural propagation, do not normally disperse and establish as new clonal individuals in the wild (Beetle 1980) and will not be discussed further. Likewise, fragments of plants can disperse and ...
meaning that in the wild their roots cling to tree branches, rather than delving into the soil. Orchids perform their best when slightly pot-bound, so bigger isn’t better when it comes to the container. Choose aplastic orchid pot,terra cotta...
In the wild they often grow in tree crevices! I water no more often than once every 2 weeks. I do not mist but will run the leaves under lukewarm running water if they look dusty. Water the plant by immersing the pot in lukewarm tap water for about 30 seconds. Then tip the pot a...
Blue is a beautiful and attractive color in flowers. However, there are few wild plants with blue flowers as compared with those with red flowers possibly because of the co-evolution of flower color and visual capture of their pollinators [1]. The three major classes of plant pigments ...
We deduced that at natural condition, if an orchid seed do not meet an appropriate symbiont, it do not geminate and slowly breaks down lipid for longer longevity in the wild. If an orchid seed meet an appropriate symbiont, it will use carbon source provided by the symbiont to gem- inate ...
Pollen biology in P. aphrodite. Orchids have a distinct reproductive program. Pollination triggers ovule development and differentiation within flowers, an
The results suggest that gene duplication MADS box genes in orchid may have resulted in their gaining novel functions during evolution. Based on these analyses, a modified model of orchid flowering was proposed. Comparison of the expression profiles of flowers of a peloric mutant and wild-type ...
Phalaenopsis is one of the important commercial orchids in the world. Members of the P. amabilis species complex represent invaluable germplasm for the breeding program. However, the phylogeny of the P. amabilis species complex is still uncertain. The Phalaenopsis amabilis species complex (Orchidaceae...
In addition, BESs can identify molecular markers that may be used for genomic mapping and cloning, and in phylogenetic analysis. Even for the rice genome, which has been fully sequenced, the Oryza Map Alignment Project (OMAP) constructed deep-coverage large-insert BAC libraries from 11 wild and...
