“…In another study, culturing the PLB of Aerides crispum Lindl. on ½ MS medium supplemented with BA (1.0 mg L −1 ) + NAA (0.5 mg L −1 ) stimulated the highest percentage of PLB formation (84.3%) (Pyati, 2022). These findings confirmed that orchid species vary in the percentage of PLB formed, as well as, the plant growth regulators (PGRs) needed, and the BA:IBA (mg L -1 ) BA+IBA (mg L -1 ) results were consistent with the results of other studies, where the protocorms of orchid species such as Cypripedium subtropicum S.C.Chen & K.Y.Lang, and Paphiopedilum Alma Gavaert showed low survival rates, which was attributed to vitrification, followed by the browning of tissues, and subsequently, explant death (Hong, Chen, & Chang, 2008;Perner et al, 2022).…”
