Asymbiotic germination in three Chloraea species (Orchidaceae) from Chile [PDF]
Orchids require symbiotic fungi and/or specific conditions to germinate. Asymbiotic techniques have been shown successful for orchid germination. In Chile, Chloraea include many endemic, and potentially ornamental, terrestrial orchid species.

An Improved Protocol for Asymbiotic Seed Germination and Seedling Development of Paphiopedilum tigrinum [PDF]
Paphiopedilum tigrinum is an endangered orchid with high ornamental value. However, seed germination and seedling regeneration in P. tigrinum is very difficult in vitro. Little is known about why P. tigrinum seedlings are difficult to propagate or how to

Abscisic Acid Inhibits Asymbiotic Germination of Immature Seeds of Paphiopedilum armeniacum. [PDF]
Paphiopedilum armeniacum is a rare orchid native to China with high ornamental value. The germination of P. armeniacum seeds is difficult, especially for the mature seeds, which is the major limitation for their large-scale reproduction. This study explored the reasons for seed germination inhibition from the aspects of the important plant endogenous ...

Asymbiotic germination of Vanilla planifolia in relation to the timing of seed collection and seed pretreatments. [PDF]
Abstract Background Vanilla planifolia is an important tropical orchid for production of natural vanilla flavor. Traditionally, V. planifolia is propagated by stem cuttings, which produces identical genotype that are sensitive to virulent pathogens. However, propagation with seed germination of V. planifolia is intricate

Symbiotic and Asymbiotic Germination of Dendrobium officinale (Orchidaceae) Respond Differently to Exogenous Gibberellins. [PDF]
Seeds of almost all orchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi to induce their germination in the wild. The regulation of this symbiotic germination of orchid seeds involves complex crosstalk interactions between mycorrhizal establishment and the germination process.
