Research on micropropagation of Cymbidium, nobile-type Dendrobium, and Phalaenopsis in Japan

  • Chapter
Orchid Biology

Abstract

Utilization of clones is an important component in the economic production of orchids. Controlled cultivation is possible and effective only when plants are uniform. Among the three major orchids produced in Japan, only Cymbidium production starts with plantlets multiplied from shoot tips cultured in vitro. These shoot tips produce protocorm-like bodies (PLBs). Shoot development follows PLB formation in many standard-type Cymbidium hybrids. Several miniature-type Cymbidium cultivars and/or temperate species are an exception. Mass rapid clonal propagation (MRCP) of standard-type Cymbidium is fairly easy and was the first to be utilized for commercial production. In nobile-type Dendrobium production, multiplication by traditional cuttings is common. Difficulties in the formation of PLB and a higher risk of somaclonal mutations hinder practical utilization of MRCP in these orchids. Seedlings are used for Phalaenopsis production. Phalaenopsis is a monopodial orchid, which means that research that utilizes shoot tips damages the mother plants. This has created difficulties, and development of MRCP procedures has been delayed. Several MRCP methods using plant parts other than shoot tips have been developed recently, and production of clones has started.
