Cattleya forbesii x Cattleya bowringiana: a new hybrid of Cattleya orchid

Primary hybrid of cattleya forbesii x cattleya loddigesii, a new brazilian orchid

“…and Cattleya sp. have been described by Faria et al (2009), Cardoso (2010), Faria et al (2011), Faria et al (2013), Faria et al (2015) and Colombo et al (2017).…”

Selection parameters of a new “coerulea” multiflora hybrid: Cattlianthe aurora’s blue pride

“…Although many criteria are relevant for selection, e.g., earliness and color (Cardoso 2010, Cardoso et al 2016, Colombo et al 2017, no genetic parameters of the flower have yet been estimated or defined for the selection of superior clones.…”

“…Cattleya is a large orchid genus, with 102 species, 95 of which are found in Brazil (Flora do Brasil 2017). Cattleya and its hybrids (Cattleya hybrid group) are among the most valuable flowers, but their development is slow (3-7 years) in comparison with the genetic material of Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium or Oncidium, which have a relatively fast development (1-3 years) of new materials (De and Medhi 2015, Colombo et al 2017, Stulzer et al 2019. In Brazil, the ornamental flower market is demanding selected new plant material, in particular of orchids and other tropical species (Junqueira andPeetz 2014, Cardoso et al 2016).…”

Editorial

“…Cryopreservation is used in seeds, pollen and buds conservation in laboratory for indeterminate extent of time, by conserving tissues at low temperatures to reduce its cellular metabolism to the lowest possible level. Even though it is a widespread technique, studies are necessary to deal with each species and each tissue behaviors during their freezing and thawing (VENDRAME et al, 2014).…”

“…Although Brazil has a large number of native species with ornamental potential, orchids domestication is still poorly studied due to the plants long juvenile periods and hybridization is a breeding method that seeks to solve the previously mentioned issues, combining agronomic characteristics of interest from parental plants such as blooms increase per year, reduction of juvenile period, (COLOMBO et al, 2017).…”
