The authors provide a comprehensive worldwide survey of the literature on the methods for multiplying orchid plants using tissue culture techniques. These are the newest techniques derived from current molecular biology research and offer great practical utility for growers of often rare and beautiful orchids. All of the information required to propagate orchids, including detailed how-to protocols for each orchid type and an outline of techniques and procedures, is provided.

Fundamentals of Orchid Biology

Examines the biology, history, evolution and commercial uses of orchids. All aspects of the orchid are explored including how they are classified and named; the cytology, physiology, phytochemistry and morphology of orchids; their anatomy, mycorrhiza, pollination, embryology, reproduction, heredity and breeding and ecological characteristics. Numerous illustrations throughout aid in comprehension.

Divided into three volumes, Micropropagation of Orchids Third Edition retains the exhaustive list of micropropagation protocols for many genera and updates each section to include new and/or revised information about: <ul>
<li>Culture media and vessels</li> <li>Techniques and procedures for both orchids which were previously cultured and for those which were not</li> <li>Plant hormones and growth regulators</li> <li>Media components</li> <li>Methods for tissue decontamination</li> <li>Historical information</li> <li>Procedures for the cultivation for plantlets which have been removed from flasks</li> <li>Sources of light and illumination methods</li> </ul>
Written by two globally acknowledged experts in the field, the third edition of this definitive text on the micropropagation of orchids is a detailed and comprehensive collection of procedures and methods for multiplying orchids, including organ, tissue, and cell culture techniques in vitro and is intended for researchers in plant science and propagation, professional and amateur orchid growers, and plant breeding professionals. Much of the general information about techniques and procedures can be applied to plants other than orchids.

Micropropagation of Orchids, 3 Volume Set

Yam, Tim Wing

This greatly expanded and updated edition of a classic reference work comprises two volumes offering a compendium of methods for multiplying orchids through micropropagation. 
<ul>
<li>A detailed collection of procedures and methods for multiplying orchids, including organ, tissue, and cell culture techniques in vitro 
</li> <li>Presents classic techniques that have been in the forefront of orchid propagation since they were first developed in 1949 
</li> <li>Detailed procedures are appended with tables and complete recipes for a large number of culture media 
</li> <li>Includes many illustrations, chemical formulas, historical vignettes, and seldom seen illustrations of people, orchids, apparatus and tools</li> </ul>
“… an excellent resource like its predecessor, …both informative and captivating, and served as a reminder of why we go to such extremes in our quest to propagate these plants.” American Orchid Society, 2009 “…in the sense of its universal value and importance, this Second Edition will undoubtedly be considered a classic, if only because it will serve as a sole and invaluable resource on the subject.” Plant Science Bulletin, 2009

This is the ultimate book on Singapore's national flower. Created as a hybrid in Singapore, by the woman horticulturalist whose name it bears, it was first formally described in 1893 by "Mad" Ridley, of Singapore's Botanic Gardens. Fifty years later it was one of the most famous orchids in the world, grown from Hawai'i to Barbados. Its popularity faltered in the 1950s, but in the 1980s it was selected as a symbol of Singapore. Its role in Singapore's national and horticultural life seems unlikely to diminish. This book is a repository of the relevant scientific, horticultural, and historical knowledge on Singapore's national flower.
