Mycorrhizas alter nitrogen acquisition by the terrestrial orchid Cymbidium goeringii.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Orchid mycorrhizas exhibit a unique type of mycorrhizal symbiosis that occurs between fungi and plants of the family Orchidaceae. In general, the roots of orchids are typically coarse compared with those of other plant species, leading to a considerably low surface area to volume ratio. As a result, orchids are often ill-adapted for direct nutrient acquisition from the soil ...
متن کاملCallus formation and plant regeneration from callus through somatic embryo structures in Cymbidium orchid
Embryogenic calli were induced from longitudinally bisected segments of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Cymbidium Twilight Moon ‘Day Light’, a hybrid orchid, on modified Vacin and Went medium [Bot. Gaz. 110 (1949) 605] supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) alone or in combination with N-phenyl-N′-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl urea (TDZ) within 1 mont...
متن کاملIndependent degradation in genes of the plastid ndh gene family in species of the orchid genus Cymbidium (Orchidaceae; Epidendroideae)
In this paper, we compare ndh genes in the plastid genome of many Cymbidium species and three closely related taxa in Orchidaceae looking for evidence of ndh gene degradation. Among the 11 ndh genes, there were frequently large deletions in directly repeated or AT-rich regions. Variation in these degraded ndh genes occurs between individual plants, apparently at population levels in these Cymbi...
متن کاملProduction of virus-free orchid Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw. by various tissue culture techniques
Orchids are affected by many viruses resulting in poor growth, yield and quality, and an overall decline in population. Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is one of the common orchid viruses found in Cymbidium species but it infects different orchid genera. In this study Cymbidium aloifolium was propagated in vitro using MS medium at different strength (1.0, ½, and ¼) with or without 0.5 mg/l BAP (...
متن کاملEx situ conservation of Cymbidium eburneum Lindl.: a threatened and vulnerable orchid, by asymbiotic seed germination
The population of many splendid orchids is reducing from their natural habitats at an alarming rate and their conservation is becoming a matter of global concern. Asymbiotic seed germination has been applied for ex situ conservation of rare, endangered and threatened orchid taxa and could provide rapid means their multiplication. In the present study reported here, seeds of an epiphytic and rar...
