China 2College of Chemistry and Environment, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, P.R. China Abstract. In this study, the stem explants of Ludisia discolor were used as experimental materials to investigate the effects of 6-BA, NAA, Cu2+ and Ag+ on the induction of adventitious bud regeneration, and to analyze the most suitable culture conditions for stem explants regeneration. The results showed that when the medium was supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-BA, 0.75 mg/L NAA, 0.25 mg/L CuSO4, or 6.4 mg/L AgCl, the best regeneration effects would be gained, respectively. And the adventitious bud regeneration rate reached the maximum, which were 61.67%, 83.67%, 80.95% and 87.63%, respectively. The results of this study provided a theoretical basis for tissue culture and rapid propagation of L. discolor. 1 Introduction Ludisia discolor ((Ker-Gawl.) A.

  • Propagation of Haemaria Discolor Via in Vitro Seed Germination
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 49 (3): 341-346, 2005 Propagation of Haemaria discolor via in vitro seed germination Y.-J. SHIAU*, S.M. NALAWADE**, C.-N. HSAI* and H.-S. TSAY**1 Department of Agronomy, Agricultural Research Institute, Wufong, Taichung 413, Taiwan* Institute of Biotechnology, Chaoyang University of Technology, Wufong, Taichung 413, Taiwan** Abstract In vitro propagation protocol for Haemaria discolor (Ker) Lindl. var. dawsoniana by artificial cross-pollination and asymbiotic germination of seeds has been developed. Fruit set (100 %) was obtained when the pollinia and ovules of various aged flowers were used for pollination. In vitro germination of seeds obtained from capsules of various ages was achieved on half-strength Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 3 % sucrose and 0.85 % agar. The germinated seedlings were cultured on half-strength MS medium with 0.2 % activated charcoal, 8 % banana homogenate, 0.1 mg dm-3 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)urea (TDZ) and 1 mg dm-3 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Ninety-six percent of plantlets survived after hardening in greenhouse. Additional key words: in vitro propagation, Jewel orchid, pollination. Introduction Haemaria discolor (Mandarin: Xue-ye-lan or Cai-ye-lan) For conservation and commercial cultivation of this belongs to a group of terrestrial orchids commonly known species, an efficient in vitro propagation system is as “Jewel Orchids” due to their attractive foliage. It is desirable. Micropropagation of Haemaria discolor has native to the regions from southern China and Burma been achieved using nodal explants (Teo 1978) and by down through the Malay Archipelago, Sumatra, Java, and seed germination (Chou and Chang 1999b).

John Hayden, Botany Chair o temperate-zone plant enthusiasts, the orchid family seems more than a little strange. On the one hand, native orchids grow wild without assistance from people, they are rooted in the soil, and they survive freezing cold winter temperatures. On the other hand, the tropical or- chids that we encounter are ornamental plants, pampered by their human caregivers, cultured indoors in pots fi lled with fi r bark or other media designed to mimic the plants’ natural epiphytic habit, and, as a group, these ornamental tropical orchids have essentially zero tolerance to frost. Of course, their fl owers, fruits, and seeds defi ne them all as members of the orchid family, Orchidaceae, but from the perspective of how they actually live, and how we interact with them, native orchids and their tropical ornamental relatives seem utterly, profoundly, different.

Existing surface sterilization protocols were found to be not successful in initiating in vitro cultures of Jewel orchid L. discolor in this study. Hence, a surface sterilization protocol, incorporating the use of 0.4% (w/v) mercury Ludisia discolor chloride, was developed to address this issue. This method yielded the lowest contamination (7.7%) and best Surface sterilization growth at 22.5%. Nodal segments of L. discolor produced the best growth when placed in half-strength semi-solid Acclimatization MS medium with 0.2% (w/v) activated charcoal, 8% (w/v) Mas banana cultivar homogenate, 3% (w/v) sucrose, À À À 3.5 g L 1 Gelrite, 1.0 mg L 1 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, and 0.1 mg L 1 thidiazuron, a confirmation of the pro­ tocol promoted by Shiau et al.

  • Little Known Houseplants That Anyone Can Grow
    Little Known Houseplants That Anyone Can Grow By Mary Francis, Fairfax Master Gardener Intern There are many fine plants that are surprisingly easy to grow. Those featured in this article may not be suitable for houseplant beginners, yet they are most satisfying for those with some experience. These plants have key essential needs that, once met, vastly reward the grower. They are worth seeking out. Jewel Orchids Everyone is familiar with orchids, but have you ever encountered the jewel orchids? They are prized for the beauty of their leaves as the flowers are small and not author by showy. There are five genera of jewel orchids, all terrestrial, meaning they grow on the forest floor. Special photo: potting mix is available and often includes a mixture of Jewel Orchid Anoectochilis potting soil, sand, peat moss, sphagnum, perlite and cocoa fibers. They prefer a humid environment, so misting or even placing them in a terrarium is a good idea. The easiest to grow and the most commonly available jewel orchid is Ludisia discolor. Notable cultivars include ‘Red Velvet’ with red veins, and ‘Green Velvet’ which has bright green leaves with white veins. It can handle low light but prefers low to medium light for more showy leaves. It also tolerates overwatering or underwatering, thrives with orchid fertilizer and can even live in African violet potting soil. Flowers should be removed if they appear because the flowers weaken the plant. Jewel orchids of the genus Anoectochilus are also worthy of consideration. These plants have stricter requirements than Ludisia discolor yet are surprisingly easy to grow.

  • Kakadu National Park Approved Plant List
    KAKADU NATIONAL PARK - APPROVED PLANT LIST Kakadu National Park is a ‘Commonwealth reserve’ under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) and is inscribed on the World Heritage List for outstanding cultural and natural values. As part of Kakadu National Park, the use and development of the Town of Jabiru must not be detrimental to the values of the park. To protect Kakadu’s unique environment, Regulations 12.20 and 12.21 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000 require that plants are not brought into Jabiru and cultivated or propagated unless they are included on the Approved Plant List. Approved plant species include a plant species that is: a) A native species of Kakadu National Park; or b) Specified on the Approved Plant List maintained by the Director of National Parks. All plants brought into Jabiru for domestic or commercial area gardens should be an approved plant species. The preferred option is to use species that are native to Kakadu. For information on these species please refer to the book Native Plants for Top End Gardens (2007 Smith). The approved plant species that are non-indigenous to Kakadu are those that are understood to not have the potential to spread into the park. The approved non-indigenous species may not necessarily be well-suited to the growing conditions in Jabiru. By using only approved plant species you will help to avoid potential biosecurity threats to the environmental values of Kakadu National Park. Please be aware that any gardening material brought into Jabiru provides an entry pathway for exotic ants, myrtle rust and other plant viruses and pathogens into the park.

    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 75 January 2020 Editorial Orchids are perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind when we think about climate change. Record temperatures, catastrophic droughts, melting glaciers, out-of- control bush fires, burning rainforests and other calamities are of more immediate concern. But when we focus on orchid conservation, it is obvious that climate change looms large. It seems likely that orchids are more vulnerable to climate change than most other plant groups, for the following reasons: (1). Since about 70% of all orchids are epiphytes, they are probably more likely to be affected by drought. Even if mature plants would be able to survive unusually severe droughts, one can imagine that seedlings would be much more vulnerable. If such droughts become too frequent, seedling recruitment will be compromised, and the orchids will die out. (2). Since all orchids go through a mycoheterotrophic stage, at least as as seedlings, they depend on the presence of the right fungi for their long-term survival. It could be that climate change affects these fungi in such a way that they are no longer available to particular orchid species. These will then gradually disappear from their habitats. (3). Similarly, since many orchids depend on highly specific pollinators, the effect of climate change on the availability of these pollinators may be significant. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and we do not know if it is the orchid, the fungus or the pollinator that is the weakest link. (4). Orchids tend to occur in sparse, widely dispersed populations.
