We examined the effects of culture conditions, namely, illumination, temperature and the addition of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) to the germination medium, on the asymbiotic germination of mature seeds of Gastrodia pubilabiata Sawa, an achlorophyllous orchid. Mature seeds were harvested from plants at...
