Comparative Seed Cryopreservation of Indonesian and New Zealand Epiphytic And Terrestrial Orchids.
The atypical seed storage behaviour reported in several orchid species justifies cryopreservation as a complementary conservation strategy to conventional seed banking. This study aimed to assess the seed cryopreservation potential of five orchid species; tropical epiphytic, Indonesian species (Dendrobium strebloceras, D. lineale), one temperate New Zealand species (D. cunninghamii) and... -

Comparative in vitro seed germination and seedling development in tropical and temperate epiphytic and temperate terrestrial orchids
Ex situ conservation of orchid seeds requires the application of modern biotechnology to determine seed quality and to optimise in vitro regeneration. The nutrient requirements for germination and seedling growth in vitro can be species-specific and influenced by life history traits and habitats. Therefore, this study aimed to explore in...
