4.1 Introduction
Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soo, an orchid prevalent to North-Western Hima­layan region (3000e4200 m above sea level), is a highly valued medicinal herb of family Orchidaceae. It is commonly called as “Marsh Orchis.” There is existence of different names of D. hatagirea, region wise. Angmo-Lakpa, Salem Panja, Hatajari, and Munjataka are some of the specific names attributed to D. hatagirea in India. It is a terrestrial herb which can reach up to the height of 50e60 cm. Rhizome of D. hatagirea is tuberous with 2 e 5 finger-like lobes. Its stem is slender with the presence of leaves all over the surface (Selvam, 2012). Leaves generally vary from 4 to 6 in number and are erect, subsessile, and lanceolate to rectangular in shape (Figs. 4.1 and 4.2). Inflorescences of D. hatagirea are spicate racemes with flowers in proportionate density. Its flowers are generally purple in appearance and fruits are ellipsosid. Many minute seeds are present which generally give dusty

appearance (www.bsienvis.nic.in.) The flowering in D. hatagirea generally starts at the onset of July and remains up to the end of August (Chaurasia et al., 2007).
4.2 Origin and distribution
The distribution of D. hatagirea encompasses Asian countries viz., Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, and Bhutan. As far as India is concerned, this orchid is found in the Himalayan states of Jammu and Kashmir (former state), Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Sikkim (Dhar and Kachroo, 1983; Samant et al., 2001). Inhabita­tion of D. hatagirea includes alpine meadows, humus rich soil surrounded by grasses, near to snowy streams along with other herbs (Bhatt et al., 2005; Pant
and Rinchen, 2012). Unscientific exploitation of D. hatagirea is in practice on
very large scale due to its high demand aimed at therapeutic uses. The specific pollinator prerequisite conditions and particular mycorrhizal associations for growth impart D. hatagirea a slow-growing herb. The cultivation of D. hatagirea through seeds is very problematic as they are very minute structures and also having very low viability. Its cultivation can be achieved through divisions of the tuber part which already contain the stem part with bud. In India, only few centers in Himala­yan states have been succeeded in making a repository of germplasm of D. hatagirea for use by the growers as well as scientific community. It has been reported that taxonomy of orchids like D. hatagirea is generally considered as more complicated due to morphological variations among species and more levels of hybridization amid species (Pillon et al., 2007).

4.3 Medicinal uses
For millenniums, many orchid species have been used as a source of medicine to treat various disorders and ailments. Orchids have also been used in Chinese med­icine system for many years. The Book of Herbs (CE 500) encompassed the appli­cation of many medicinal orchids such as Dendrobium species (State Pharmacopeia
Committee of China, 2010). Many species from genus Dactylorhiza have been used
in combating major diseases. The medicinal uses of D. hatagirea range across various medicine systems like Ayurveda, Unani, Tibetan, and Folk medicine. Mainly tuber part of this plant is being used as it has neurostimulant, astringent, antibacte­rial, aphrodisiac, immunomodulator, demulcent, and nutritional properties (Vij
et al., 1992; Thakur and Dixit, 2007). The mucilaginous substance present in the tu-
bers of D. hatagirea is also used to treat aliments like diarrhea, chronic fever, and dysentery (Selvam, 2012). D. hatagirea is generally considered as med icinal orchid as there are various reports on health benefits associated with it. Many studies have been performed in the past which demonstrate its potential in treating various disor­ders and health ailments. The roots and tubers of D. hatagirea have been found to be aphrodisiac in nature which denotes its potential in refining the sexual behavior and performance (Thakur and Dixit, 2007). The antioxidant activity and ameliorative ef­fect of this plant extracts have been nominated as herbal cure for sexual dysfunction (Thakur et al., 2008). Recently, Sirohi and Sagar (2019) have reported the neuro­pharamcological properties linked with D. hatagirea by demonstrating the effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of roots and tubers. Also other parts of plant like leaves have shown to be associated with antidiabetic activity. The methanol extracts of leaves of D. hatagirea have shown the antidiabetic activity in various cell lines tested (Alsawalha et al., 2019).
4.4 Dactylorhin
Due to a strong urge of this orchid herb in medicinal industry, its annual demand is very high, i.e., more than 5000 tonnes. Its economical importance can be assessed by the fact that the value for its dry tubers ranges across Rs 1800eRs 2000 per Kilogram (Kala, 2004). Overall, the mature tuber consists of mucilage (up to 45%), glucosides, starch, volatile oil, albumen, phosphate, and chloride (Chaurasia et al., 2007). The main medicinal properties of D. hatagirea are generally attributed toward the pres­ence of a glucoside, dactylorhin (Fig. 4.3) in the underground part, i.e., tuber. Dacty­lorhin is the main active chemical constituent in the mature tubers of plants in the family Orchidaceae. Overall, five distinct dactylorhin compounds (dactylorhin A, dactylorhin B, dactylorhin C, dactylorhin D, and dactylorhin E) have been docu­mented from Dactylorhiza species and some other medicinal orchids so far.
4.4.1 Biosynthesis of dactylorhin
Although dactylorhin is considered as the main medicinal constituent of D. hatagirea, the path way completing its biosynthesis in plant tissues remains still

to be elucidated. There are few reports on the isolation and quantification of different dactylorhin compounds such as dactylorhin A, dactylorhin B, dactylorhin C, dacty­lorhin D, and dactylorhin E along with other compounds such as dactyloses (Kizu
et al., 1999). Three dactylorhin compounds, i.e., dactylorhin A, dactylorhin B,
and dactylorhin E have been also isolated from other orchids viz., Gymnadenia con- opsea R. Br. and Coeloglossum viride along with other compounds such as loroglos­sin and militarine (Li et al., 2009). Using RNA-Seq approach, a comparative transcriptome-based characterization has been performed to elucidate the biosyn­thetic pathway of dactylorhin employing different conditions through plant cell cul­ture techniques (Sood).
4.5 Biotechnological interventions in Dactylorhiza
hatagirea
Whenever there is debate on the role of biotechnology for scientific improvement of orchids, a large repository for the same always exists. A very informative report on the use of modern biotechnological interventions has been documented where Hos-
sain et al. (2013) have signified the areas like in vitro propagation for mass production
and conservation, functional genomics, genetic transformation, as well as the role of pharmaceutical biotechnology. For genus Dactylorhiza also, there are adequate num­ber of reports on the application of biotechnology-based tools for various studies in other species such as Dactylorhiza fuchsii, Dactylorhiza incarnata, Dactylorhiza majalis, and Dactylorhiza maculate (Hedren et al., 2008; Balao et al., 2017; Devos
et al., 2005). However, very limited biotechnological interventions have been carried
out on D. hatagirea overall as compared to various other herbs endemic to same growing region, on national and international levels, to date.
4.5.1 Tissue culture strategies for conservation of Dactylorhiza
hatagirea
Tissue culture is an imperative ste p for conservation of terrestrial orchids at ex situ level (Jakobsone et al., 2007). It is important to know about the morphological and

physiological characteristics for germination of particular orchid species to establish effective tissue culture approach.
Like other orchid species, genus Dactylorhiza has not been studied with respect to employing various tissue culture strategies for mass propagation. However, some prominent tissue culture approaches have been applied up to some extent for conser­vation of critically endangered medicinal orchid, D. hatagirea which in turn linked to low rate of success. This could be attributed to many limitations linked with this orchid herb such as association of fungus and presence of mucilaginous substanc es in underground parts such as tubers as well as root s. In vitro propagation of D. hatagirea was also achieved successfully using various plant growth regulators (Giri and Tamta, 2012). Different explants such as green pod, shoot bud, leaf segment, and tuber segment were used for in vitro plantlet regeneration (Fig. 4.4). However, the success rate was very low. It was observed that Murashige Skoog (MS) medium added with peptone having concentration of 1.0 g/L, morphoino­ethane sulfonic acid with 1.0 g/L concentration, and activated charcoal in ratio of
0.1% showed effectiveness in terms of producing protocorm-like bodies and the plantlet formation.
If given proper environment and suitable conditions, seed embryos can also develop into entities like protocorm for mass propagation. In a different study, a pos­itive attempt was made to culture immature seed embryos of D. hatagirea to develop into protocorms and also in shoot regeneration (Warghat et al., 2014). Out of various media combinations, MS medium with 3 mg/L of indole butyric acid and 1 mg/L of kinetin produced significant results in terms of production of shoots and roots from the culture of protocorms with leaf primordia. Further propagation of in vitro plants was also significant in the potting mixture of cocopeat þ perlite þ vermiculite (1:1:1).
Also, for enhancing the rate of callus induction, in vitro propagation of tubers/ roots was also achieved where young shoots from mature plants were taken as ex­plants (Fig. 4.5) (Sood). The shoots explants were cultured in various media combi­nations with various plant growth regulators (Table 4.1), and it was observed that they served as an alternate for better callus induction as compared to direct callus formation.
4.5.2 Role of molecular markers
There is a sharp decline in the natural populations of D. hatagirea due to which this species has been recorded as critically endangered species in CAMP (Conservation Assessment and Management Plan), endangered by CITES (Convention on Interna­tional Trade in Endangered Species) under appendix II and critically rare by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) (Uniyal
et al., 2002; Bhatt et al., 2005). There is scarcity of information available with
respect to study the genetic diversity and population structure of D. hatagirea at mo­lecular- or DNA-based markers. It is anticipated that efficient and robust molecular markers should be used for the conservation and genetic improvement programs at very significant level.

Inter Simple Sequence Repeats markers were employed to estimate the level of genetic diversity among D. hatagirea populations in cold desert of Ladakh region of Indian Himalayas (Fig. 4.6)(Warghat et al., 2013). It was observed that a moderate level of genetic variations among populations exists. Also, random amplified

polymorphic DNA markers were used to assess the genetic diversity among nine populations of D. hatagirea in Ladakh region which revealed the occurrence of mod­erate genetic variations among population (Fig. 4.7)(Warghat et al., 2012).
Overall low level of genetic diversity among populations supports the theory that endangered or threatened species with narrow level of distribution are usually depauperate. The low genetic variations are gener ally linked with the less ability of the species to cope up with environmental fluctuations as well as at higher risk of being extinct. This can also lead to increase the phenomenon of inbreeding (Frankham et al., 2010).
For efficient markers to be used in conservation genetic studies among closely related species, some features like absence of genotypic linkage disequilibrium within populations and also cross-specific amplification are anticipated. Later in 2014, a study reported development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to assess the genetic diversity within and between Chinese populations of D. hatagirea (Lin et al., 2014). This resulted in the identification of 14 SSR markers of different repeats which can be employed to for population-level studies to assess genetic diversity among D. hatagirea and its closely related other orchid species as

well. Keeping in mind the same objective for Indian populations from Western Hima­layan region, (Sharma et al. (2015)) reported characterization of novel polymorphic SSR markers, out of which seven were further identified to be linked with studying the extent of genetic diversity and population genetics in D. hatagirea. Later, a different marker approach, i.e., isoenzymes, was also used along with morphological and biochemical parameters to study variability among populations of D. hatagirea which indicates a significant level of intrapopulation diversity (Chauhan et al., 2014).
There is an immense need to employ more robust and specific molecular markers along with screening of large number of populations for all the habitats of D. hatagirea in Himalayan region to enhance the conservation management strate­gies on a large scale.
4.5.3 Role of “omics” technologies
“Omics” refers to the systematic analysis at specific level in any living system. In the past, various “omics” technologies have paved the way forward for understanding of organism at cellular, gene, protein, and metabolite level (Witzel et al., 2015). During the last decade, plant science has witnessed the use of “omics” approaches at very

large and in an efficient manner and perhaps the most implemented for it. Modern­day “omics” approaches are anticipated for full-level understanding of unexplored mechanisms linked with various pathways and processes associated with plants. The most potential application of “omics” for plant research currently is genomics which has enabled techniques like genetic transformation, genome-assisted breeding, and development of transgenic/genome-edited plants (Hruz et al., 2008;
Tsai et al., 2017). More or less it is imperative that techniques like next-
generation sequencing (NGS) have commissioned the role of “omics” for betterment of an organism at various developmental stages and proce sses.

4.5.4 Next-generation sequencing to characterize transcriptome
For genus Dactylorhiza, the use of ultramodern and advanced NGS platforms is well documented for applications like genome and transcriptome sequencing to charac­terize chloroplast genome, phylogenomic relationship, and ecological divergence among various species (Balao et al., 2017; Brandrud et al., 2020; May et al.,
2019; Paun et al., 2011).
As D. hatagirea is concerned, there are very few reports on employing NGS plat­forms to study any genomic and transcriptomic characterization. Recently, Nova-Seq sequencing platform from Illumina Inc. was employed to perform RNA-Seq analysis of various in vitro cultured and wild tissues of D. hatagirea to elucidate biosynthetic pathway of important secondary metabolite, i.e., dactylorhin (Fig. 4.8) (Sood). Also another study reported the use of another NGS platform, i.e., Genome Analyzer IIx (Illumina Inc.) to elucidate biosynthetic mechanism of various secondary metabolites such as resveratrol and stilbenes in the tuber of D. hatagirea (Dhiman et al., 2019). Also molecular cues linked with freezing stress and other environmental factors were identified using this transcriptomic characterization.
