Influence of Culture Conditions on In Vitro Asymbiotic Germination of <i>Anacamptis longicornu</i> and <i>Ophrys panormitana</i> (Orchidaceae)
This study is the first approach to in vitro asymbiotic germination of two species of Sicilian threatened terrestrial orchids, <i>Anacamptis longicornu</i> and <i>Ophrys panormitana.</i> Seeds were collected in the wild and cultured in two different media—Orchimax medium (OM)...
