Broad Fungal Compatibility and Seed Size May Facilitate Invasiveness in Two Asian Terrestrial Orchids Spathoglottis plicata and Arundina graminifolia [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTwo Asian orchids, the bamboo orchid (Arundina graminifolia) and the Philippine ground orchid (Spathoglottis plicata), are expanding into South and Central America, the Pacific, and Africa. Here, we tested whether seed traits and low in vitro selectivity

In vitro asymbiotic germination of immature seed and formation of protocorm by Cephalanthera falcata (Orchidaceae). [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2006 Many Orchidaceous species are threatened globally by development and over-collection from their natural habitats for horticultural purposes. Artificial propagation from seeds is difficult in most terrestrial orchids native to temperate regions. Seed production is another limiting factor in the artificial propagation for these species because of the ...

Complexities and Innovations in Orchid Germination: A Review of Symbiotic and Asymbiotic Techniques
Journal of Plant Sciences (Science Publishing Group)<i>Orchidaceae</i> is the second-largest family among flowering plants; one of the most fascinating characteristics is the morphology of the seed. One of the most important complications is that orchid seeds are tiny and lack endosperm, meaning they almost entirely depend on outside sources for nutrients while germinating or
