Abstract:
Demdrobium candidum seed should be used as the explant to induce a great deal of seedings. The optimal medium for seeds germination was VW + NAA 0. 18 mg/L + 6-BA 0. 53 mg/L + GA 0. 28 mg/L + sucrose 20 g/L + banana mud 100 g/L + active carbon 10 g/L. The VW + NAA 0.18 mg/L + 6-BA 0.53 mg/L + GA 0.28 mg/L + sucrose 20 g/l + banana mud 100 g/L + active carbon 10 g/L was best for rooting of the plantlets.
