TL;DR: The present study reviews the traditional therapeutic uses of orchidaceous preparations with its recent advances in pharmacological investigations that would be a useful reference for plant drug researches, especially in orchids.

TL;DR: An informative and broad overview of orchid biotechnology, addressing several important aspects such as molecular systematics, modern breeding, in vitro morphogenesis, protoplast culture, flowering control, flower color, somaclonal variation, orchid mycorrhiza, pathogen resistance, virus diagnosis and production of virus-free plants.

TL;DR: Although protocorms proliferated profusely in liquid medium, these did not develop further unless transferred to agar-solidified medium within 6–8 weeks, and well-rooted plants were transferred to the greenhouse with 95% survival.

TL;DR: The acclimatization of in vitro -grown Dendrobium plantlets to an ex vitro environment by gradually weaning them towards ambient relative humidity and light levels facilitates better survival of young and physiologically sensitive plantlets.

TL;DR: In the present study, four nutrient media viz., Murashige and Skoog (MS), Phytamax (PM), Mitra et al. (M) and Knudson ‘C’ (KC), were evaluated for seed germination and early protocorm development in Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw.
