A NOVEL SEED BAITING TECHNIQUE FOR THE EPIPHYTIC ORCHID RHYNCHOSTELE CERVANTESII, A MEANS TO ACQUIRE MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI FROM PROTOCORMS
We developed a new and novel seed baiting technique sowing mature seeds of the epiphyitic orchid Rhynchostele cervantesii under natural conditions, We introduced a sponge in each package that may serve as a reservoir for water retention to benefit germination; In three of 22 packets we found protoco...

| Sumario: | We developed a new and novel seed baiting technique sowing mature seeds of the epiphyitic orchid Rhynchostele cervantesii under natural conditions, We introduced a sponge in each package that may serve as a reservoir for water retention to benefit germination; In three of 22 packets we found protocorms in an early stage of development, six of wich were of sufficient size to warrant fungal isolations; Nine strains were isolated in pure culture and were inoculated on seeds and protocorms under in vitro conditions. |
