Kraenzl, a Medicinal Orchid
Undefined Organic Additives Stimulates in Vitro Seed Germination of Dendrobium Ovatum (Willd.) Kraenzl, a Medicinal Orchid Thejaswini R and Narasimhan S Department of Biotechnology, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal University, Manipal, India Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Dendrobium ovatum (Willd.) Kraenzl is an epiphytic orchid belonging to the family Orchidaceae. The II. MATERIALS AND METHODS aim of the current study is to analyze the efficacy of undefined additives such as coconut water, palm fruit water Dendrobium ovatum seeds were collected from the (Borassus flabellifer), tomato juice and pineapple juice on mature capsules just before its dispersal during the month the germination and growth of in vitro cultured seeds of D. of January, 2016 growing in the campus of Manipal ovatum. The germination was analyzed using scanning University, Manipal. The pods were washed with electron microscopy (SEM). Among all the additives 30% running tap water for 20 minutes and chemically coconut water (v/v) induced maximum rate of embryo sterilized with 0.1 % mercuric chloride (w/v) for eight germination . Tomato juice and pineapple juice (15% v/v) also exhibited better germination rate of orchid seeds under minutes. After chemical sterilization the seeds were in vitro conditions. Protocorm like bodies were seen inoculated in Woody Plant Medium [5] containing 0.5 growing and further develops into young plant. SEM mg/l Napthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 1 mg/l Benzyl served as an early analytical tool for the response of seeds Adenine (BA) with varying concentrations of the and revealed heterogeneity of seeds in terms of its response additives. -

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. -

It enjoys almost all types of vegetations. Among its floral wealth, the diversity of orchids plays an important role. They are known for their beautiful flowers having ecological values. An extensive survey in the field done from 2009 to 2020 in different areas of the state, supported by information found in the literature and by the material kept in the collections of local herbariums, allows us to propose, in this article, a list of 160 species belonging to 50 different genera. Furthermore, endemism, conservation aspects, medicinal and economic values of some of them are discussed. Résumé L'État d'Odisha abrite une grande richesse florale et faunistique avec des paysages variés. Il bénéficie de presque tous les types de végétations. Parmi ses richesses florales, la diversité des orchidées joue un rôle important. Ces dernières sont connues pour leurs belles fleurs ayant une valeurs écologiques.

E-mail: [email protected] The main phytogeographic regions within the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula are delimited on the basis of analysis of recent literature on geology, geomorphology and climatology of the region, as well as numerous recent literature information on phytogeography, flora and vegetation. The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1. Background The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, comprising the largest area in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula, is situated along the southeastern margin of the Peninsula. -

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.
