The structure and diversity of bacteria and fungi in the roots and rhizosphere soil of three different species of Geodorum.

Shepherd's crook (Geodorum) is a genus of protected orchids that are valuable both medicinally and ornamentally. Geodorum eulophioides (GE) is an endangered and narrowly distributed species, and Geodorum densiflorum (GD) and Geodorum attenuatum (GA) are widespread species. The growth of orchids depend on microorganisms.

The Genetic Diversity and Genetic Structure of the Germplasm Resources of the Medicinal Orchid Plant .

has medicinal and ornamental value, but the number of wild populations is decreasing dramatically. Thus, conducting research on its genetic diversity and structure is necessary to provide a basis for its conservation. This study aimed to explore the genetic diversity of the wild plant and protect and optimize its wild resources.

Genomic evidence reveals high genetic diversity in a narrowly distributed species and natural hybridization risk with a widespread species in the genus Geodorum.

Background: Understanding genetic diversity is a core issue in conservation genetics. However, previous genetic diversity evaluations of narrowly distributed species have rarely used closely related widespread species as a reference. Furthermore, identifying natural hybridization signals between narrowly and widely distributed sympatric species is of great importance for the development of species conservation programs.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Orchidaceae).

is a rare species with high ornamental value in China. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of using the Illumina sequencing data. The total genome of is 153,682 bp in length and the GC content is 36.
