Development of an efficient particle bombardment transformation system for the endemic orchid, Phalaenopsis bellina

Phalaenopsis bellina is an important indigenous orchid with high commercial value. In this study, we established an efficient particle bombardment transformation system for P. bellina using the protocorm-like-bodies (PLBs) as target tissues. Leaf derived PLBs were proliferated on ½ strength Murashig...
