Sexual signaling is an important reproductive barrier known to evolve early during the formation of new species, but the genetic mechanisms that facilitate the divergence of sexual signals remain elusive.

The complete chloroplast genome of an endangered species Cymbidium mastersii (Orchidaceae)
Cymbidium mastersii Griff. & Lindl. is an endangered orchid. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the cp genome features of C. mastersii. The cp genome sequence of C. mastersii was 155,362 bp in length.

Self-incompatibility (SI) is found in approximately 40% of flowering plant species and at least 100 families. Although orchids belong to the largest angiosperm family, only 10% of orchid species present SI and have gametophytic SI (GSI).

Pollination Mechanisms are Driving Orchid Distribution in Space
Understanding the abundance and distribution patterns of species at large spatial scales is one of the goals of biogeography and macroecology, as it helps researchers and authorities in designing conservation measures for endangered species. Orchids, one

Orchid conservation: how can we meet the challenges in the twenty-first century?
With c. 28,000 species, orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants, and they are also one of the most threatened, in part due to their complex life history strategies.
