Cremastra Plant Tissue Culture
Cremastra is a perennial herb of the orchid family, and its pseudobulbs can be used as medicine after drying, which is an important and scarce herbal medicine. Modern medical research shows that the Cremastra plant has active ingredients that can be used to treat malignant tumors such as breast cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, etc. It has certain effects on the hematopoietic system, can be used to regulate the immune system, and has hypoglycemic, hypotensive, and antibacterial effects.

We take advantage of the totipotency of the cells and can
obtain the target new plants quickly by asexual
propagation.
In addition to its high medicinal value, Cremastra also has a high ornamental value, increasing its economic value. Because of this high medicinal and economic value, people have been digging Cremastra in the wild for a long time, destroying the wild habitat, and the wild resources have been decreasing or even on the verge of extinction.
Cremastra is mainly propagated by division and has a very low reproduction factor. Usually, a pseudobulb grows only one new bulb in one year, and a pseudobulb planted for 2 years can only reproduce two plants. The seeds are very tiny and the embryo is just a clump of cells, which is difficult to develop into seedlings under natural conditions. The high market demand has led to severe depletion of wild resources. Based on this, CD BioScience has established the Cremastra rapid propagation technology and can provide technical support for the factory production of histoculture seedlings.
- Aseptic sowing of seeds for propagation
Cremastra seeds are incompletely developed without endosperm, which makes germination difficult under natural conditions. Therefore, at present, we often sterilize the fruits and use aseptic sowing to improve the seed germination rate.
The larger pseudobulbs of Cremastra can be used for human medicine, and the smaller pseudobulbs can be used as seed bulbs for propagation in two ways, direct propagation, and cuttings.

- Selection of explants (related to the target material)
Cremastra is difficult to propagate because of its seed characteristics, so currently we only accept pseudobulbs and mature seeds with terminal buds or adventitious buds provided by our customers as explant material in tissue culture.
Note: Please back up your experimental materials beforehand, and contact our staff immediately for an accurate response if you have any special needs.
