Trang 31 Necesity of the thesis to be studied
Dendrobium loddigesii Rolfe and Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb Fisher belonging Dendrobium genus are considered as pretty forest orchid species
with high value of medicine and commerce As mentioned in the documents
of traditional Chinese medicine, D loddigesii Rolfe can be used as a blood
anti-freezer and in protection of some cancer diseaseas orcured in human
organs like stomatch, lung, (Tsai et al., 2010); prospate, oesophagus…and in treatment of diabetes (Veronika Cakova et al., 2017); skin color whitening (Ho Kyung Jung et al., 2015) D.aphyllum (Roxb.) Fisher takes an important
role in treatment of some diseases like cough, throatsore, flame burning, foodpoisoning etc….(Vietnam red book, 2007)
As a matter of fact, D loddigesii and D.aphyllum orchids have been
seriously exploited in recent years for ornamental decoration and medicine aswell resulting in strongly germplasm erosion In addition, the germinationability of these orchids in natural condition is very low whereas itsdistribution is quite limited, its availability, is therefore, met a lot ofdifficultities in terms of areas existed and individual quantity as well.Because of that, the study on multiplication technology targeted firstly forpreservation and development of these orchid species takes an very
important role in which in vitro propagation and synthetic seed create
techniques aimed to prolong the seed conservation duration should be paidgreat attention to This direction is regarded as an effective way not only for
D loddigesii and D.aphyllum orchids but also for other rarely precious ones
as well With the aim of diversification of Vietnam valuable medicineresources, partly improvement of vital environment and orchid producers
living standard, a sicientific thesis entitled “Study on biological characteristics and propagation technology used for preservation
(Dendrobium loddigesii Rolfe, Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb.) Fisher)
Vietnam orchids” was proposed for implementation.

CHAPTER 1 OVER ALL DOCUMENTATION
1.1 Origin and distribution of D loddigesii and D aphyllum orchid
species in Vietnam
Dendrobium genus was nominated in 1799, Dendrobium word was understood as on trees growned orchid and was called “Dendrobium” by
Vietnamese (Tran Duy Quy, 2005)
In Vietnam, Dendrobium genus is very diversiform with specific distribution D loddigesii orchid was available in Thai Nguyen, Ha Giang, Lai Chau and Nghe An provinces (Averyanov et al., 2005) whereas D aphyllum specy has been found in the provinces of Lam Dong, Khanh Hoa, Lao Cai, Bac Kan, Ninh Thuan (Averyanov et al., 2005; Vietnam red book,
2007)
1.2 Main botanical characteristics of D loddigesii and D aphyllum
orchids
Bảng 1.1 Main botanical characteristics of the orchid species studied
Subordinated living, small Subordinated living with thinhshrubs with smooth and bended
Stems stems of 10 - 20 cm long and and bended stems of about
100 cm long (Tran Hop,long internodes (Tran Hop, 1998).
1998)
Oblong leaves of 4 - 6 cm long; Long handled machete leaves
of 6 - 8 cm long, 1,5 - 2 cmLeaves 1 - 2 cm wide and easily droped wide (Vietnam red book
(Tran Hop, 1998) 2007).
Clusters of 1-2 flowers of dark Clusters of 1 – 3 flowers ofpink color with dark pots light purple color generatedlocated in leaf sides Petals are from leafless stems PetalsFlowers round with smooth hairs in its with three veins are light
edges and yellow colored yellow color Floweringcentre Flowering season: April season: April - May (Tran
- August (Tran Hop, 1998; Zhu Hop, 1998; Vietnam red book,
Guanghua et al., 2009). 2007)
Trang 61.3 Utilised value and exploitation status of D loddigesii and D aphyllum orchids in Vietnam
As reported by Chinese traditional medicine, D loddigesii can be used
as a blood anti-freezer and in protection of some cancer diseaseas orcured in
human organs like stomatch, lung, (Tsai et al., 2010); prospate, oesophagus…and in treatment of diabetes (Veronika Cakova et al., 2017); skin color whitening (Ho Kyung Jung et al., 2015) D aphyllum takes an important role in degest improvement (Zhao Yong Ling et al., 1994) and
treatment of some diseases like cough, throatsore, flame burning, foodpoisoning etc….(Vietnam red book, 2007)
Since D loddigesii and D aphyllum orchids can be used as ornamental
and medicinal crops with highly economic value, they have been seriouslyexploited in recent years resulting in very high risk of germplasm erosion inVietnam
1.4 Production and consumption situation of Dendrobium in Vietnam
and over the world
For orchid generally, pot and cut flowers have been considered as themain concern in global markets that is estimated of about 10% incomparision with total flower quantity consumed resulting in 438 mil USDannually in 2007 – 2012 period (Jayarama Reddy, 2016)
Netherland ranks the first country over the world in orchid productionand exportation (39.7%), followed by Thailand (28.4%); Taiwan (10%),Singapore (10%) and New Zealand (6%) Main import countries are Japan(30%), United Kingdom (12%), Italy (10%), France (7%) and United States
of American (6%) Of cut flower orchids exchanged in the world markets,
Dendrobium (85%) and Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium ( 15%) are considered to
be principal ones (Cheamuangphan et al, 2013; De et al., 2014) In Netherland, the production of pot Dendrobium has increased significantly a
quantity of about 40 to 50 mil of orchid individuals produced annually was
reported (De et al., 2014).
In Vietnam, the area under orchid cultivation has been limitedaccounting approximately 10% of total flower cultivated area Presentproduction of orchid flowers in Vietnam is implemented in two orientations:The industrial production is applied for newly released orchid varieties orintroduced ones whereas utilization and exploitation of indeginous orchids isprioritized for available cultivars mainly taken from the forests
It is also obvious that orchid production in Vietnam does not meet thedemand of domestic consumtion, only 30 - 40% orchid quantity required isproduced in country and the rest has to be imported from outsides
1.5 Study on biology and multiplication situation of Dendrobium in
Trang 7Vietnam and over the world
1.5.1 Study on biology of Dendrobium
Study on leaf and pseudobulbs morphological and physiological
characteristics of 4 orchid species D chrysotoxum, D officinale D crystallinum and D crystallinum in the relation with maintaining water balance was reported by Shi-Jian Yang et al., (2016) whereas Metusala et al., (2017) focused on micro morphological structure of stem and leaf of D capra and D Arcuatum in different environments related to its adaptability
in draught condition
As reported by Chinese traditional medicine, D loddigesii can be used
as a blood anti-freezer and in protection of some cancer diseaseas orcured in
human organs like stomatch, lung (Tsai et al., 2010), treatment of diabete type 2 (Zhang et al., 2011) Results conducted from bio-chemical studies showed that some useful substances were availabe in D loddigesii orchid
such as shihunine, 9,10 dihydrophenanthrene 2,4,7 triol, moscatin,
loddigesiinols C, moscatilin, gigantol and tristin (Li Chunyan et al., 2013).
Ho Kyung Jung et al., (2015) found that chemicals extracted from D loddigesii orchid inhibited the activity of melanin and tyrosinase but
promoted the development of dendrite resuting in skin whitening
Veronika Cakova et al., (2017) reported that moscatilin available in D loddigesii can be used for prevention the development of some cancer
diseases orcured in human organs like stomatch, lung, prospate,oesophagus…while Loddigessinol G-J, Crepidatuol B are useful in diabetetreatment In addition, polysaccharides and phenol included sustances such
as moscatin, moscatilin and tricetin 3 ', 4', 5'-trimetyl ete
7-O--glucopyranoside in stem of D aphyllum orchid can inhibit the production of
NO, that is of good help for immne system
In the other hands, anti oxidized substances extracted from D aphyllum
orchid such as superoxidedismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase arehelpful for human health whereas amino acids like Ala, Val, Ile, Leu, Tyr,Phe, Try, Pro, Met and Cys are also considered as highly anti oxydisers with
good nutrions (Huifan Liu et al., 2017).
In Vietnam, almost scientific works recently have focussed on the
morphologies of Dendrobium orchid botanical organs, viz, stem, leaf, root
system etc…(Tran Hop, 1998; Vietnam red book, 2007; Duong Duc Huyen,2007), whereas the studies on biological micro structure and botanicallassification based on morphological markers were still limited
Cao Phi Bang et al., (2017) implemented a study on the growth, anatomy and transpiration characteristics of micropropagated D anosmum
Trang 8Lindl during ex vitro acclimatization process Nguyen Thi My Duyen et al., (2012) studied on morphological based classification of Dendrobium and from which three new species namely D pulchellum, D gatton Sunray, D moschatum was nominated These species were closely relative with genetic
coefficiences of 96.5% and 95.0% respectively In a study done by Tran DuyDuong (2015), the morphological index was combined with molecular
markers in polymorphic evaluation of 32 Vietnam indigenous Dendrobium accessions including higly valued medicinal species such as D jenkinsii, D lindleyi, D aphyllum…
It seems, however, no study on bio-chemical composition of
Dendrobium orchid has been reported in Vietnam up to now.
1.5.2 Study on propagation of Dendrobium over the world1.5.2.1 Study on in vitro propagation
Various scientific works on in vitro propagation have been done over the world Dake Zhao et al., (2013) had a research into multiplication and in tube flower formation of D wangliangii Xin Qian et al., (2014)
implemented a study on in vitro flowering and fruiting in culture of D officinale Calluses were induced from shoot-tip explants of D officinale on
MS medium with 0.2 mg/l BA and 0.05 mg/l αNAA Multiple shoots hadNAA Multiple shoots had
been regenerated after protocorm like bodies were transferred onto the same
basal medium with 1.0 mg/l αNAA Multiple shoots hadNAA The plantlets, 2 - 4 cm high, maintained
in vitro were induced to flower, and the highest rates of inflorescence
(83.2%) and normal flowers (73.6%) were produced on the MS mediumwith 15% coconut water and 0.1 mg/l TDZ within 9 weeks
Mohammad Musharof Hossain et al., (2013) studied on multiplication
of D aphyllum orchid and found that Phytamax (Sigma) + 1 mg/l BA
medium was helpful in seed germination whereas Phytamax + 1 mg/l BA +
1 mg/l αNAA Multiple shoots hadNAA was considered to be useful for protocorm multiplication In case of D jerdonianum Wight, Sagaya Mary et al., (2016) mentioned that
MS medium was suitable for flower stalk culture while KC medium wasfound to be suitable for nodal segments and VW medium was found to besuitable for nodal segments
Tapash Kumar Bhowmik et al., (2017) stated: Phytamax (PM) medium
supplemented with 20 g/l sucrose gave good effect for seed germination of
D palpebra, better than PM medium supplemented with glucose or fructose Thejaswini et al., (2017) reported that mashed tomato and coconut water 15% were regarded the best for in vitro seed germination of D ovatum (Willd.) whereas Edy Setiti WidaUtami et al., (2017) concluded that VW
medium supplemented with 2 g/l peptone medium was suitable for seed
Trang 9germination, shoot formation and protocorm development.
In addition, the studies on orchid propagation related to thin cell layer(TCL) had been also implemented and applied in some orchid species such
as D chrysotoxum (t-TCL of 2 mm thick, done by Saranjeet Kaur, (2017); Paromik Bhattacharyya et al., (2018); D aphyllum (t-TCL done by; Parthibhan et al., (2018) and D aqueum Lindley (t-TCL originated somatic
embryo regeneration done by some researchers)
In Vietnam, some studies on orchid propagation have been recently
concerned, eg a study on orchid multiplication from t-TCL of in vitro stem
of D aduncum implemented by Nguyen Thanh Tung et al., (2010), studies
on orchid multiplication from in vitro seed of D nobile Lindl (Vu Ngoc Lan
et al., 2013), D officinale (Nguyen Thi Son et al., 2014), D lituiflorum Lindley (Nguyen Van Viet, 2017), D transparens (La Viet Hong et al., 2017), D officinale (Le Thi Diem and Vo Thi Bach Mai, 2017),…
1.5.2.2 Study on synthetic seed formation of orchids
Up to now, protocorm and PLBs have been mainly used in the studies
on synthetic seed formation of orchids (Bunnag et al., 2010; Zhang et al.,
2011; Mohanty et al., 2013; Bustam Suryanti et al., 2013; Sukhumpinij et al., 2015; Nhutet al., 2005; 2007; Tran Thi Ngoc Lan, 2013).
1.5.2.3 Study on the growth and development of orchid plants generated from preserved or non preserved synthetic seeds.
Using RAPD technique for polymorphic evaluation of Cineraria maritana, Srivastava et al., (2009) reported that there was no genetic
difference between plantlets generated from non preserved seeds and 6months preserved ones The same result was also reported by Mishra et al.,
(2011) in Picrorhiza kurrooa (3 months preserved seeds) and Mohanty et al., (2013) inD densiflorum(60 days preserved seeds)
1.5.2.4 Study on cultivation of Dendrobium
Mohammad Musharof Hossain et al., (2013) stated that mixture of brickpieces, charcoal pieces, coco peat and vermiculite at 1 : 1 : 0.5 : 0.5 ratio
was considered suitable for plantlet cultivation of D aphyllum while Winarto et al., (2015) recommended Cycas numphii used in the first 2 months and mixture
of wood charcoal and C rumphii bulk at 1: 1 ratio used in the next duration were favourable for D ‘Zahra FR 62’ and D ‘Gradita 31’ It was also mentioned that
plantlets could be grow better (90 – 100% plant survived) by 50% net covering
to keep light intensity down to 100-150 μmolmol⋅m-2⋅s-1 and relative moisture at85% – 95%
Trang 10Selvaraju Parthibhan et al., (2015) showed that high ratio of survived
plants of D aqueum was obtained when grown in brick pieces and charcoal
medium at 1 : 1 ratio covered with moss and polyethylene bags Abdul AzizMirani et al., (2017) studied on D nobile, and concluded that 100% planlets
would be survival at 120 days after growing when grown in MS rooting medium involved αNAA Multiple shoots hadNAA at 3 mg/l and then changed to mixture of coco- peat: desert sand: perlite at 1,0 : 1.0 : 0.2 ratio
Apart from fertilizers, studies on the utilization of biological substances
and growth regulators to promote the growth of Dendrobium were also carried out For D cv sonia -17 grown in green house, Bhatt et al., (2012)
reported that GA3 sprayed at 15 mg/l produced significantly maximum number of shoot, shoot length and number of flowers per plant BA at 15mg/l was found beneficial for number of leaves per plant in both first and second month after.
As a matter of fact, the study on cultivating technology of Dendrobium in Vietnam was still limited Pham Thi Lien et al., (2010) proposed a procedure
of cultivation used for Dendrobium grown in the North of Vietnam in which
the utilization of mixture of charcoal and coconut fibre at 1 : 1 ratio andslowly diluted N, P, K fertilizer compound at 20 : 20 : 20 ratio combinedwith Growmore foliar was paid great attention to Vu Ngoc Lan (2012)reported that powder of coconut fiber medium was suitable for the growth of
D.nobile and D.chrysanthum and spraying Komix 2ml/l at 7 – 10 days intervals should be effectively applied when in vitro planlets were
transferred to nursery from laboratory tubes for 1 month on Hoang Xuan
Lam (2014) recommended for D cherry red, April was suitable time to transplant in vitro plants to nursery while mixture of charcoal : volcano
growth; It was also recommended that the utilization of foliar Growmore(N:P:K = 30:10:10) and growth regulator Atonik 1,8 SL (0,1%) should be
effectively applied Nguyen The Cuong et al., (2018) stated that in oder to promote the growth of D.officinal the sensity of 44 plant per square metter
and foliar Growmore application should be paid great attention andreccommended
