“…Floral initiation has been shown to be regulated by photoperiod in a few orchids. In Doritis pulcherrima (now Phalaenopsis pulcherrima ), under the 30 °C/20 °C (day/night) condition, floral spikes are initiated more efficiently by 9-h light than 12-h light treatment (Wang et al, 2003). In Miltoniopsis orchids, SD incubation at 23 °C before shifting to cool temperature (11–14 °C) facilitates flowering (Lopez and Runkle, 2006).…”

Orchids comprise one of the largest, most highly evolved angiosperm families, and form an extremely peculiar group of plants. Various orchids are available through traditional breeding and micro-propagation since they are valuable as potted plants and/or cut flowers in horticultural markets. The flowering of orchids is generally influenced by environmental signals such as temperature and endogenous developmental programs controlled by genetic factors as is usual in many flowering plant species. The process of floral transition is connected to the flower developmental programs that include floral meristem maintenance and floral organ specification. Thanks to advances in molecular and genetic technologies, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying orchid floral transition and flower developmental processes have been widened, especially in several commercially important orchids such as Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium and Oncidium. In this review, we consolidate recent progress in research on the floral transition and flower development of orchids emphasizing representative genes and genetic networks, and also introduce a few successful cases of manipulation of orchid flowering/flower development through the application of molecular breeding or biotechnology tools.
