Vanilla Enters the World of Genomics

Within the last few years, the development of new DNA sequencing technologies has revolutionized the study of crop plants. New technologies are now available that provide high-throughput DNA sequence coverage at low cost, making their application to smaller crops possible. Two research groups are currently applying these new technologies to Vanilla planifolia to study some of the important issues with Vanilla, such as disease susceptibility and vanillin biosynthesis.

Chemical Characterization of Vanilla pompona Scheide, Part I

In this four-part series, researchers extensively study the composition of Vanilla pompona for fragrance applications. Here, existing literature on V. pompona is reviewed and compared with V. tahitensis and V. planifolia. Test protocols for GC-MS and DTD-GC-MS are described, and some results are discussed.
