Symbiotic Germination Technique of an Endangered Epiphytic Orchid Dendrobium sinominutiflorum: A Promising Conservation Application 濒危附生兰科植物勐海石斛 (Dendrobium sinominutiflorum) 的共生萌发技术:一种具有应用前景的保护策略

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 192-204, June 2026.
We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.
