Optimization of the protocorm-like body (PLB) formation of Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium hybrids was performed by determining the effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and different parts and division sizes of the PLB. For both genera, the base part was the best for the proliferation of PLBs, yielding the highest number of PLBs on a PGR-free medium for Phalaenopsis and medium containing 0.1μM NAA and 10.0μM BAP for Dendrobium. As regards the division size, four-division sections resulted in a higher PLB formation efficiency for Phalaenopsis, while two-division sections produced a higher PLB formation efficiency for Dendrobium. It is expected that these findings will be applicable to efficient PLB formation of other Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium orchids.

본 연구에서는 버즈풋 트레포일의 Empire 품종을 이용하여 조직 절편체의 종류 및 식물생장조절물질 첨가가 캘러스로부터 식물체 재분화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 각각의 잎과 줄기 절편체를 배지에 치상한 후 배양한 결과, 모든 처리구에서 5-7일 후부터 캘러스 형성이 시작되었다. 캘러스를 유도함에 있어 첨가되는 auxin류로 NAA를 첨가 우수한 결과가 나타났다. 1 mg/L NAA와 1 mg/L BA가 첨가된 CM4 배지에서 잎 절편체 92%, 줄기
