In vitro propagation of Eulophia nuda Lindl., an endangered orchid

In vitro pseudobulb based micropropagation for mass development of Cymbidium finlaysonianum Lindl.

“…Thus the simple protocol devised here will certainly contribute to the mass propagation and conservation of C. finlaysonianum. The importance of the acclimatization process has been highlighted in a number of reviews about orchid's growth (Das et al, 2007;Hossain et al, 2010;Panwar et al, 2012;Paudel and Pant, 2013;Shibu et al, 2014).…”

In vitro propagation, micromorphological studies and ex vitro rooting of cannon ball tree (Couroupita guianensis aubl.): a multipurpose threatened species

“…Shoot multiplication during repeated transfer may be due to inhibition of apical dominance which stimulates basal dormant meristematic cells to produce young shoots (Phulwaria et al 2013). This approach for shoot multiplication has been used in several plant species (Panwar et al 2012). Low concentrations of BAP and Kin (1.0 mg l −1 each) promoted shoots multiplication and also minimized the hyperhydricity in cultures.…”

Role of Auxin in Orchid Development

“…Root formation occurred in response to most auxins, but IBA or IAA was especially effective in many orchid species. 7,[73][74][75] Moreover, high endogenous cytokinin to auxin ratios in root tips may suppress lateral root formation in Aranda and Vanda species, since removal of the root tips spurred lateral root formation. 76 Researchers have also documented that auxin is not only involved in initiation, but also enhanced root growth.…”
