Aseptic germination of seeds of Northern Terrestrial orchids

Ben R. Lindén Annales Botanici Fennici 1980

Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect FAST and Burgeffs mineral media gave good germination and growth.
Intervention effect Eg 1 performed better for tuberous species.
Observation Twenty-five of 29 orchid taxa germinated.
Observation The four nongerminating species belonged to Cephalanthera and Epipactis.
Observation Germination onset took 2—10 weeks and varied by species.
Intervention effect Cold treatment was not required for the named boreal or alpine species.
Mechanism Juvenile embryos and a heterotrophic stage may explain latitude-independent germination behavior.
