Dendrobium merupakan anggrek yang memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi karena ketertarikan dari warna dan bentuk bunga. Permintaan ketersediaan terbatas sehingga metode kultur in vitro sangat dibutuhkan untuk memperoleh dengan jumlah banyak pertumbuhannya dalam waktu singkat. Media MS cair eksplan protocorm like bodies (PLB) dapat digunakan menghasilkan pertumbuhan lebih optimal. Penelitian ini bertu...

An experiment was carried out in Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to investigate the effect of banana extract on micropropagation of Dendrobium sp. var. Sonia orchid through PLBs. The experiment was conducted during July 2012 to October 2013. Half-Murashige and Skoog (1/2MS) medium were used as basal medium and the medium...

The distinct reproductive program of orchids provides a unique evolutionary model with pollination-triggered ovule development and megasporogenesis, a modified embryogenesis program resulting in seeds with immature embryos, and mycorrhiza-induced seed germination. However, the molecular mechanisms that have evolved to establish these unparalleled developmental programs are largely unclear. Here...
