Study to shorten the time of flowering of Cymbidium flowers

The topic ' Investigating the effects of gamma radiation on invasion system of Cymbidium ' by Dr. Vu Ngoc Boi and the research team conducted at Da Lat Nuclear Research Institute, TP Nuclear Center. HCM in 2 years 2009 and 2010 .

With the aim of researching and applying radiation technology in propagation and mutation of yellow flower Cymbidiums, Dr. Vu Ngoc Boi - Institute of Biotechnology and Environment , Nha Trang University and research team have advanced investigating the effect of gamma radiation on the invitro system (plant tissue culture) of Cymbidiums.

After the survey, the researchers continue to apply radiation technology to shorten the growth and flowering time of the yellow flowers.

The results showed that gamma irradiation of samples in bud and young plants was ineffective compared to when irradiated protocorm. The seedlings were tested in Ho Chi Minh City. Nha Trang and Da Lat are developing well.

Normally, the orchids are yellow flowers after about 5 years to flower. With the application of radiation technology in breeding and mutation, plants can flower after 3 and a half years to 4 years.

With the application of radiation technology to shorten the growth and flowering time of Cymbidiums, researchers aim to reduce costs, create beautiful flowers and match the demand of geographies. .
