PePIF1, a P-lineage of PIF-like transposable element identified in protocorm-like bodies of Phalaenopsis orchids
Abstract Background Orchids produce a colorless protocorm by symbiosis with fungi upon seed germination.For mass production of orchids, the prevailing approaches are both generation of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) from callus and multiplication of adventitious buds on inflorescence.However, somaclonal variations occur during micropropagation.Result
