“…With the application of cell engineering and gene editing technologies in orchid molecular breeding [85,86], we anticipate the identification of a growing number of valuable functional genes. Orchid COLs, serving as key functional genes governing abiotic stress responses, flowering time regulation, and flower development within the Orchidaceae family, represent a valuable resource for enhancing orchid breeding.…”

The orchid is one of the most distinctive and highly valued flowering plants. Nevertheless, the CONSTANS-like (COL) gene family plays significant roles in the control of flowering, and its functions in Orchidaceae have been minimally explored. This research identified 68 potential COL genes within seven orchids’ complete genome, divided into three groups (groups I, II, and III) via a phylogenetic tree. The modeled three-dimensional structure and the conserved domains exhibited a high degree of similarity among the orchid COL proteins. The selection pressure analysis showed that all orchid COLs suffered a strong purifying selection. Furthermore, the orchid COL genes exhibited functional and structural heterogeneity in terms of collinearity, gene structure, cis-acting elements within their promoters, and expression patterns. Moreover, we identified 50 genes in orchids with a homology to those involved in the COL transcriptional regulatory network in Arabidopsis. Additionally, the first overexpression of CsiCOL05 and CsiCOL09 in Cymbidium sinense protoplasts suggests that they may antagonize the regulation of flowering time and gynostemium development. Our study will undoubtedly provide new resources, ideas, and values for the modern breeding of orchids and other plants.

Dendrobium nobile ( D. nobile), an orchid species deeply rooted in traditional medicine, has garnered considerable attention for its potential pharmacological and therapeutic properties. This critical review provides a comprehensive analysis of the bioactive compounds present in D. nobile and explores their diverse pharmacological effects. The phytochemistry of D. nobile has been discussed, highlighting its major constituents and bioactive compounds with specific properties. The pharmacological profile of D. nobile has been investigated in various domains. Notably, its strong antioxidant activity and ability to scavenge free radicals have been shown to support its immune-modulating, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. Intriguingly, these orchids display promising anticancer, antidiabetic, cardiovascular, renoprotective, hepatoprotective, and wound-healing properties. The mechanisms underlying these effects were explored, including molecular pathways and signalling cascades. However, factors influencing its chemical composition, such as environmental conditions, cultivation techniques, and postharvest processing, must be considered for consistent therapeutic outcomes. The safety and toxicity profiles derived from acute and chronic toxicity studies were examined. In future studies, exploring the untapped therapeutic potential and elucidating the intricate mechanisms of action are promising. This review underscores the pharmacological richness of D. nobile, revealing its potential to contribute to modern medicine while emphasising the need for further investigation to harness its full therapeutic benefits.
