Mycorrhizal fungi have substantial potential to influence plant distribution, especially in specialized orchids and mycoheterotrophic plants. However, little is known about environmental factors that influence the distribution of mycorrhizal fungi. Previous studies using seed packets have been unable to distinguish whether germination patterns resulted from the distribution of appropriate edaph...

We investigated the appropriate growth conditions of shoot and root through in vitro propagation of orchid (Dendrobium sonia) using different gelling agents. Protocorm Like Bodies (PLBs) of orchid were initiated earlier in vitro and one month old protocorms were used for this study. Protocorms were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of starche...

This study describes the in vitro propagation and ex acclimatization of Philodendron erubescens pink princess, one most popular ornamental variegated foliage plants. For shoot proliferation, protocorm-like bodies princess were cultured on solid Murashige Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at different concentrations. The results revealed ...

The synthetic seed technology is becoming popular due to its wide application in germplasm conservation and for exchanges between countries in the floriculture trade. In this study, this method was used to study the germination and conversion capabilities of orchid species Dendrobium White Fairy when stored at different storage times and with different storage containers. A high germination per...
