Interaction between Cymbidium aloifolium and Apis cerana: Incidence of an outlier in modular pollination network of oil flowers. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Cymbidium aloifolium is a perennial, epiphytic orchid found in the tropical regions of South Asia. Its oil‐rewarding flowers are invariably pollinated by a non‐oil bee, Apis cerana indica. The study highlights the mechanism and traits that establish floral constancy and pollination mutualism. Photo: Arjun Adit Abstract So far, oil‐rewarding flowers are

Symbiont switching and trophic mode shifts in Orchidaceae. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2021 Summary Mycorrhizal fungi are central to the biology of land plants. However, to what extent mycorrhizal shifts – broad evolutionary transitions in root‐associated fungal symbionts – are related to changes in plant trophic modes remains poorly understood.

Specimen Identification Through Multilocus Species Tree Constructed From Single-Copy Orthologs (SCOs): A Case Study in <i>Cymbidium</i> Subgenus <i>Jensoa</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolStandard DNA barcodes often fail to distinguish closely related plant species due to deep coalescence, hybridization, and low‐sequence variation. In this study, we demonstrate that single‐copy orthologs (SCOs), widely used in metazoan taxonomy, can serve as effective multilocus markers for plant species identification.

Recent origin and rapid speciation of Neotropical orchids in the world's richest plant biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2017 Summary The Andean mountains of South America are the most species‐rich biodiversity hotspot worldwide with c. 15% of the world's plant species, in only 1% of the world's land surface. Orchids are a key element of the Andean flora, and one of the most prominent components of the Neotropical epiphyte diversity, yet very little is known about their ...

The genome of Cymbidium sinense revealed the evolution of orchid traits. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2021 Summary The Orchidaceae is of economic and ecological importance and constitutes ˜10% of all seed plant species. Here, we report a genome physical map for Cymbidium sinense, a well‐known species belonging to genus Cymbidium that has thousands of natural variation varieties of flower organs, flower and leaf colours and also referred as the King of ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 65, Issue 5, Page 1204-1225, May 2023., 2023 Orchidaceae are one of two largest angiosperm families with ~28,000 species and mainly grow as epiphytes on trees in rainforests. Evolutionary analyses of 610 orchids with 431 new transcriptomes provides a robust Orchidaceae phylogeny and suggests that the expansion of rainforests probably promoted the origin and diversification of epiphytic orchids ...

Hundreds of nuclear and plastid loci yield novel insights into orchid relationships
American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1166-1180, July 2021., 2021 PREMISE The inference of evolutionary relationships in the species‐rich family Orchidaceae has hitherto relied heavily on plastid DNA sequences and limited taxon sampling. Previous studies have provided a robust plastid phylogenetic framework, which was used to classify orchids and investigate the drivers of orchid diversification.

Phylotranscriptomic analysis and genome evolution of the Cypripedioideae (Orchidaceae)
American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 631-640, April 2018., 2018 Premise of the Study The slipper orchids (Cypripedioideae) are a morphologically distinct subfamily of Orchidaceae. They also have some of the largest genomes in the orchids, which may be due to polyploidy or some other mechanism of genome evolution.

Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...
