Abstract
Synthetic seed technology offers tremendous potential
in micropropagation. It deals with in vitro conservation and storage of rare and endangered plant species
along with their easy handling and transportation.
This technology is becoming prevelant due to its wide
applications in germplasm conservation and for
exchanges between countries in floricultural trade.
The present study examines the regeneration and conversion capabilities of Cymbidium aloifolium using
protocorm-like bodies when stored at different temperatures. The propagules showed high proliferative
potential by multiplication and complete plantlets
were obtained in 58 days on basal M medium supplemented with 1 mg l–1 of indole-3-acetic acid.
