Male mate‐seeking and mating behaviors of Eucera nipponensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at a nectarless orchid habitat: Are empty flower patches a profitable rendezvous site?

Male solitary bees typically use emergence‐nesting areas and/or flower patches of food plants, where receptive females are relatively numerous, as rendezvous sites. However, mate‐seeking males have been also observed at food‐deceptive orchid patches, where numerous encounters with foraging females can hardly be expected, owing to the lack of floral rewards. Here, we describe the male mate‐seeking and mating behaviors of the Japanese long‐horned bee Eucera nipponensis at habitats of the food‐deceptive orchid Cymbidium goeringii. On the basis of the results, we report empty flower patches are not necessarily fruitless sites for mate‐seeking males because naive female bees, which are highly likely to be recently emerged and unmated, can be attracted to non‐rewarding orchids. We also suggest a possibility that a small number of the males could receive a “sexual reward” (i.e. mating opportunities), owing to the food‐deceptive orchid, in return for their pollination work. This occasional interaction could represent the initial stage in the evolution of sexually deceptive orchids from food‐deceptive orchids.     

Genetic Diversities of Cymbidium mosaic virus and Odontoglossum ringspot virus Isolates Based on the Coat Protein Genes from Orchids in Guangdong Province,China

Orchids are some of the most important ornamental flowers. Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) are the most prevalent and economically important viruses affecting orchids in China. In this study, 20 CymMV and 28 ORSV isolates were selected for genetic diversity analysis. The CymMV isolates shared 84.6–100% and 89.5–100% identities of coat protein (CP) at the nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) levels, respectively. The identities of ORSV isolates were 96.4–100% (nt) and 92.5–99.4% (aa). The CP genes of CymMV were found to have genetic diversity, and the CP genes of ORSV were genetically conservative. These results can aid in designing effective disease‐control strategies.     

西藏虎头兰和墨兰对强光的生理响应

兰属植物(Cymbidium)是重要的观赏花卉。该属大多数种类生长在适度荫蔽的环境中,但附生型的西藏虎头兰(C.tracyanum)却能在阳光直射的环境下良好生长。为了探究西藏虎头兰适应强光的生理机制,研究选取同属的地生型墨兰(C.sinense)与其进行对照实验,测定了这两种植物在不同光照强度下的叶绿素荧光参数和P700氧化还原态。结果表明,在强光下,西藏虎头兰光系统I和II活性的下降程度比墨兰小,而环式电子传递的激发程度更高。环式电子传递的激发有助于增强西藏虎头兰在强光下的光保护,而墨兰因环式电子激发程度较低,使其不能适应强光。由于附生环境更容易出现间歇性的直射光,西藏虎头兰的这种适应强光的能力可能有助于它更充分地利用附生环境中的光照资源。

Analysis of DNA methylation patterns of PLBs derived from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cymbidium hybridium</Emphasis> based on MSAP

The best known and most thoroughly studied epigenetic phenomenon is DNA methylation, which plays an important role in regulating gene expression during plant regeneration and development. In this study, the methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) technique was carried out to determine differences in methylation profiles between two forms of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs), continuously proliferating PLBs (cPLBs) and spontaneously-differenting PLBs (sdPLBs), derived from cultures of Cymbidium hybridium. A total of 72 selective primer combinations were used to assess the status of cytosine methylation of DNA in these tissues. Of 4,440 fragments obtained 911 fragments, each representing a recognition site cleaved by one or both of the isoschizomers (Hpa II and Msp I), were amplified and were significantly different between the two forms of PLBs. Frequency of total and full-methylation of cPLBs and sdPLBs were 26.7/12.2%, 24.1/11.1%, respectively. In addition, 14 types of MSAP patterns detected in the two forms of PLBs belonged to two classes, type I and II. Sequencing of 14 differentially methylated fragments and their subsequent blast search revealed that cytosine methylated 5′-CCGG-3′ sequences were equally distributed in the coding and non-coding regions. Southern blotting was conducted to verify the methylation polymorphism.
