Phalaenopsis equestris Genome sequencing and assembly. Phalaenopsis equestris

Orchidaceae is one of the most diverse plant families and renowned for its spectacular flowers with highly evolved petals, labellum and fused androecium and gynoecium (gynostemium) to attract diverse pollinators for effective pollination. Because of these, and other specific reproductive and ecological adaptations, orchids are important species for evolutionary biology.
