IMPACT OF METHYL JASMONATE ON PLB FORMATION OF HYBRID CYMBIDIUM (Orchidaceae)

When methyl jasmonate (MeJA) was added at 1 mg/l, it could stimulate the development of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) or PLB thin cell layers of hybrid Cymbidium Twilight Moon ‘Day Light’, when added to Teixeira Cymbidium (TC) medium without plant growth regulators. This is a simple means to mass produce PLBs for commercial purposes.
