The orchid family is one of the largest families of flowering
plants known for their beauty and economic importance. This work
provides information in key areas of research that are important to
both scientists and commercial growers alike. The main purposes of
this book are to provide key practical areas of research, such as,
germination, micropropagation, traditional and current techniques
related to plant improvement; document methods that ensure survival
of plants from laboratories to greenhouses; promote communication
between scientists and growers, so that their combined expertise on
these areas will lead to the successful growth of orchids in their
natural habitats or commercial greenhouses. This book can serve as
reference for laymen with an interest in orchid growing.This book
is divided into 5 parts. The first part emphasizes propagation
methods using seeds and related techniques that are important to
plant conservation and improvement. Successes in asymbiotic and
symbiotic seed germination are keys to orchid conservation and
their propagation. The second part summarizes micropropagation
methods, common media, and newer methods of micropropagation such
as the bioreactor culture procedures. The third part focuses on
techniques related to the manipulation of explants in an in vitro
environment. The fourth part covers cell biological methods and
transformation techniques. Since the successes in a laboratory
setting do not guarantee plant survival and propagation in
greenhouses and in the natural environment, it discusses greenhouse
propagation techniques that are essential to the survival of plants
generated from a laboratory setting. The fifth part showcases
recent successes on orchid propagation by documenting sample
publications and how to present orchids in an artistic fashion for
one's enjoyment.
