Features: This book discusses the physiological and biochemical aspects of Chinese orchids (i.e., the genus Cymbidium). The book is divided into eight chapters, including seed germination, rapid propagation, water physiology, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, respiration, growth, and flowering, as well as an appendix titled "Advances in Molecular Biology Research on Orchidaceae." The book primarily draws on research conducted in China, while also incorporating findings from countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the Netherlands. It not only elucidates the anatomical, physiological, and biochemical characteristics and changes of Cymbidium plants in theory but also closely connects with practical production, making it a valuable reference for orchid cultivation and breeding.
