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...

The present study was planned to enable in vitro conservation of Vanda testacea, a highly medicinal orchid species through asymbiotic seed germination technique Mitra medium supplemented with cytokinins (Kn - 4.65 μM, BAP 4.44 μM), and auxin (NAA- 5.37 μM). frequency initiation higher NAA augmented seedlings developed 12.50 ± 0.50 weeks. Coconut water (20%) proved optimum for the multiplication...

Effective and rapid in vitro plantlet regeneration from protocorms of Cymbidium aloifolium using chitosan, coconut water potato extract were investigated. Two experiments performed twelve week old size 2-3 mm. In the first experiment, propagated on solid New Dogashima (ND) medium supplemented with various concentrations chitosan (0, 0.05, 0.10 1.00 mg/l). For second cultured same 100, 150 200 m...
