Optimización de un protocolo de adaptación de vitroplantas de orquídeas a las condiciones ex vitro

Abstract

Abstract:Orchids, thanks to their peculiar beauty, have been affected for many years by changes in their natural habitat; this is evidenced by the large number of species in danger of extinction. That is why several researchers have carried out in vitro cultivation of orchids, allowing them to obtain a massive production of these species, despite the fact that most individuals die in the air conditioning phase. It is therefore the objective of this research is to optimize the acclimatization of vitroplants to greenhouse conditions. Acclimatization was carried out in a period of 15 weeks, taking into account 15 individuals for each species. The results that could be obtained show that Cattleya iricolor had a survival percentage of more than 50% and Gongora sp of 66%, being able to observe that the climate control process of the species could be achieved.
