Propagation and bulblet enhancement of Rhodophiala pratensis from seeds germinated in vitro

Abstract Rhodophiala pratensis is an endemic geophyte from Chile with great importance to the national market of cut flowers and potted and garden plants. However, many geophytes have conservation issues and are considered endangered species. Efficient and controlled propagation techniques have been...
