以原球茎为材料，建立了铁皮石斛Dendrobiumcandidum人工种子的初步制作流程。以改良1／2MS培养基各种成分附加蔗糖为人工胚乳的人工种子存活率、发芽率、成苗最好，其发芽率可达80%以上。

Process for the preparation of artificial seeds of Dendrobium candidum was established by using the somatic embryos of this plant. Experimental result showed that 1/2MS medium supplemented with sucrose was suitable to induce germination and seedling of D. candidum artificial seeds. The germination rate was over 80%.
