Download or read book Orchid Propagation From Laboratories to Greenhouses Methods and Protocols written by Yung-I Lee and published by Humana. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The majority of potted flowering orchids sold in the United States are Phalaenopsis hybrids. However, as consumers become accustomed to growing orchids in the home, demand for other genera will undoubtedly increase. The major objective of this study was to compare the germination and development of three Vanda hybrids, a genus with mass market potential. Specifically, I evaluated whether hybrids with different pedigrees had significantly different culture requirements. After 12 weeks culture, differences in germination and development were found between the three hybrids screened. Significantly more seed of Vanda Motes Primrose x Ascocenda Tavivat (hybrid S014) germinated (82.0-95.5%) than seeds of Vanda Paki x (Vanda tessellata x Vanda cristata; hybrid S005) or (Vanda Joan Warne x Vanda Paki) x Vanda Loke (hybrid S013) on Knudson C (KC), half-strength Murashige & Skoog (1/2MS), or PhytoTechnology Orchid Seed Sowing Medium (P723) under three photoperiods (8/16 h, 12/12 h, 16/12 h light/dark). During 12 weeks of observation, protocorms of S005 and S013 did not develop past Stage 3 (first leaf present), while S014 seeds developed to Stage 4 (one leaf and more than one root present; 0.5-0.6%) and Stage 5 (two leaves and more than one root present; 2.7-5.6%) when cultured on P723 under all photoperiods tested. All hybrids appeared to undergo similar early development (Stage 0-3). Limited advanced development of hybrids S005 and S013 may be due either to inadequate culture conditions or low seed vigor. These data indicate that commercial production of some Vanda hybrids may be limited by slow growth and development. Efforts to breed hybrids which germinate and develop rapidly may be required to improve the mass market potential of Vanda hybrids. Attempts to initiate Vanda tissue cultures using explants from flowering size plants and seedlings were largely unsuccessful. Information on the protocols tested is included in the appendix.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in the field of plant cell and tissue culture has made this area of research one of the most dynamic and promising not only in plant physiology, cell biology and genetics but also in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and industry. Studies with plant cell cultures clearly have bearing upon a variety of problems as yet unsolved in basic and applied research. This was the compelling reason for assembling such a comprehensive source of information to stimulate students, teachers, and research workers. This book comprises 34 articles on regeneration of plants, vegetative propagation and cloning; haploids; cytology, cytogenetics and plant breeding; protoplasts, somatic hybridization and genetic engineering; plant pathology; secondary products and a chapter on isoenzymes, radiobiology, and cryobiology of plant cells. Particular attention has been paid to modern , fast-growing and fascinating disciplines - e.g. the induction of haploids, somatic hybridization and genetic manipulation by protoplast culture, which possess an enormous potential for plant improvement.

Download or read book Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry written by J.M. Bonga and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of our book "Tissue Culture in Fores try" in 1982 we have witnessed remarkable advances in cell and tissue culture technologies with woody perennials. In addition to forest biologists in government, industry, and universities, we now have molecular biologists, genetic engineers, and biochemists using cell and tissue cultures of woody species routinely. There fore, the time has come for an update of the earlier edition. In our present effort to cover new developments we have expanded to three volumes: 1. General principles and Biotechnology 2. Specific Principles and Methods: Growth and Development 3. Case Histories: Gymnosperms, Angiosperms and Palms The scientific barriers to progress in tree improvement are not so much lack of foreign gene expression in plants but our current inabili ty to regenerate plants in true-to-type fashion on a mas sive and economic scale. To achieve this in the form of an appro pr iate biotechnology, cell and tissue culture will increasing ly require a better understanding of basic principles in chemistry and physics that determine structural and functional relationships among molecules and macromolecules (proteins, RNA, DNA) within cells and tissues. These principles and their relationship with the culture medium and its physical environment, principles of clonal propagation, and genetic variation and ultrastructure are discussed in volume one.
Download or read book Root Ecology written by Hans de Kroon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of evolution, a great variety of root systems have learned to overcome the many physical, biochemical and biological problems brought about by soil. This development has made them a fascinating object of scientific study. This volume gives an overview of how roots have adapted to the soil environment and which roles they play in the soil ecosystem. The text describes the form and function of roots, their temporal and spatial distribution, and their turnover rate in various ecosystems. Subsequently, a physiological background is provided for basic functions, such as carbon acquisition, water and solute movement, and for their responses to three major abiotic stresses, i.e. hard soil structure, drought and flooding. The volume concludes with the interactions of roots with other organisms of the complex soil ecosystem, including symbiosis, competition, and the function of roots as a food source.
