Propagation of terrestrial orchids for cultivation and conservation using in vitro symbiotic germination and tuberisation .

其目标是通过生产覆盖有菌根真菌的块茎，使澳大利亚陆地兰花更容易种植，这种兰花具有壮观而不同寻常的花形和颜色。这些繁殖物的可获得性将对园艺、恢复开采区时重新引入兰花物种以及恢复稀有和濒危物种的种群具有价值。目前，粉尘般的种子与适当的菌根真菌一起萌发，以及处理生长缓慢的精致幼苗，使这些美丽的物种无法获得，除非献身于兰花爱好者。

The objective is to make Australian terrestrial orchids which have spectacular and unusual flower shapes and colours easier to grow, by producing tubers coated with mycorrhizal fungi. The availability of such propagules will be of value for horticulture, reintroduction of orchid species when rehabilitating mined land, and restoration of populations of rare and endangered species. At present germination of the dust-like seeds with the appropriate mycorrhizal fungus, and handling the slow growing delicate seedlings makes these beautiful species unavailable except to the dedicated orchid enthusiast.
