This first-attempt study used microtome-based methods to generate a thin cell layer culture for the micropropagation of Phal. Hwafeng Redjewel × New Cinderella. Protocorms were embedded in various agarose concentrations (8–12%, w/v) and dried from 1 8 h before sectioning with microtome. Optimal conditions slicing sections 100 300 μm achieved when protocorms at 10% (w/v) 4 under laminar flow, ha...

Protocorm pieces of the orchid Cymbidium were aseptically cultured either without phytohormones, or with one of the growth promoting substances, auxin cytokinin, and gibberellin. The derivative melting profiles of the extracted DNA's differ from each other with respect to the size of various AT- and GC- rich fractions. Evidence has been obtained for the increase of the more AT--rich fractions i...

Syngonium podophyllum Schott. cv. ‘White Butterfly’ is recognized as a valuable ornamental plant, and today it also an important plant species of medicinal interest due to its high contents phenolic compounds. The purpose this article review the main scientific publications from our laboratory with regard new achievements dealing or topics interest, such callus formation further de novo shoot r...

Auxin's capacity to regulate aspects of plant development has been well characterized in model plant systems. In contrast, orchids have received considerably less attention, but the realization that many orchid species are endangered has led to culture-based propagation studies which have unveiled some functions for auxin in this system. This mini-review summarizes the many auxin-mediated devel...
