In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. ,e nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. ,e success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids.

  • Phalaenopsis
    Chapter 23 Phalaenopsis Chia-Chi Hsu, Hong-Hwa Chen, and Wen-Huei Chen Abstract Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular cultivated orchids worldwide. So far, 92 native species and 34,112 hybrids of Phalaenopsis have been registered in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), but only 18 native species are frequently used for breeding. In Phalaenopsis market, large flowers with various colors are most popular. Phal. amabilis and Phal. aphrodite are the major species used for breeding the white-and-large-flower hybrids. The colored hybrids include pink, red- to- purple, green, yellow-to-orange, and black colors, as well as distinct colors in tepals with red lip. For large-and-red flowers,Phal. schilleriana and Phal. sanderiana are the major parent species, whereas Phal. equestris and Phal. pulcherrima are important for the development of the small- and medium-sized red flowers. Members of the subgenusPolychilos are the most important ancestors for yellow-to-orange flowers. More recently, there is an increased interest in plants with white, pink, or yellow colors with red stripes and/or spots. These traits are introduced from Phal. lindenii, Phal. stuartiana, and Phal. amboinensis. Furthermore, harlequin flowers which have clown-like spots and very complicated color patterns are released in the market, as well as hybrids with peloric and Bigfoot flowers. Besides color, scent and (a)biotic stress resistance are becoming important targets in Phalaenopsis breeding. Keywords Bigfoot · Breeding · Harlequin · Orchids · Peloric · Phalaenopsis C.-C.

  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

  • Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? and How!
    Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? And How! SYNOPSIS This is an historical sketch of the Saga of Orchids in Hawaii. The sequence of events from the incidental introduction of species by the Agriculturists for the Sugar Industry; to their efforts in propagation and culture, hybridizing and germination; to the development of personal nurseries to commercial ranges; and ultimately to the creation of a viable orchid industry, re­ cognized world wide; to the natural formation of orchid societies staging of orchid shows; and finally to the introduction of a system of orchid judging , should bring interesting reading to orchidists, amateur and professional alike. In fact, this could serve as a reference syllabus to keep. DO ORCHIDS GROW IM HAWAII? AMD HOW i Compiled and Edited by Dr. T. David Woo and Wallace K.
