This study was carried out to determine the effects of plant growth regulators on organogenesis from Cymbidium kanran and Cymbidium hybrida. Optimal rhizome formation from Cymbidium kanran was obtained on MS medium with 10 ppm kinetin+2 ppm NAA. and optimal protocorm formation from Cymbidium hybrida was obtained on MS medium with 10 ppm kinetin+0.05 ppm NAA. However, in this study the optimal media for the callus induction from both explants was not identified. Optimal shoot induction from rhizome of Cymbidium kanran was obtained on MS medium with 10 ppm BA+2 ppm NAA and 5 ppm BA+2 ppm NAA. Optimal shoot induction from protocorm of Cymbidium hybrida was obtained on MS medium with 10 ppm kinetin+2 ppm NAA.
