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...
