AI Article Synopsis
- The study develops microsatellite primers for the ornamental spring orchid Cymbidium goeringii to explore its genetic diversity and population structure.
- 15 primer sets were identified from two wild populations using a specific protocol, revealing a range of alleles and varying levels of heterozygosity.
- The primers proved effective in related species, offering tools for future research on the population genetics of Cymbidium goeringii and its relatives.
Article Abstract
Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite primers were developed for the important and popular ornamental spring orchid, Cymbidium goeringii, to investigate its genetic diversity and population genetic structure.
Methods And Results: Using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences Containing (FIASCO) repeats protocol, 15 primer sets were identified in two wild populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 5, with a mean of 3.3. The observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.167 to 0.917 and from 0.159 to 0.822, respectively. All these primers successfully amplified in the congener C. tortisepalum, and 12 primers were found useful in C. faberi and C. sinense.
Conclusions: These markers will facilitate further studies on the population genetics of Cymbidium goeringii and other congeneric species.

As an important genus in Orchidaceae, has rich ecological diversity and significant economic value. DNA binding with one zinc finger (Dof) proteins are pivotal plant-specific transcription factors that play crucial roles in the growth, development, and stress response of plants. Although the Dof genes have been identified and functionally analyzed in numerous plants, exploration in Orchidaceae remains limited.

The GRAS gene family, responsible for encoding transcription factors, serves pivotal functions in plant development, growth, and responses to stress. The exploration of the GRAS gene family within the Orchidaceae has been comparatively limited, despite its identification and functional description in various plant species. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the GRAS gene family in , focusing on its physicochemical attributes, phylogenetic associations, gene structure, cis-acting elements, and expression profiles under heat stress.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene family in orchids, which is important for plant growth and coping with abiotic stress, particularly in species that use the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) pathway.
- A total of 33 PEPC genes were identified across 15 different orchid species and categorized into four subgroups, with notable findings including a new unreported gene in the PEPC-iv category.
- Analysis revealed variations in gene numbers due to genetic events like duplications and losses, and differences in expression patterns among these genes suggest functional differences, enhancing our understanding of orchid evolution and biology.
