Introduction Anoectochilus is one of Orchidcee fmily memers nd elong to group of terrestril orchids tht re generlly known s "Jewel Orchids" (Cvestro, 1994; Shiu et l., 2002). The genus consists of 40 species widespred throughout Southest Asi, New Cledoni nd Hwii (Ket et l., 2004). Anoectochilus formosnus is one of jewel nd terrestril orchids grown primrily for its eutiful folige s well s for medicine enefits (Tseng et l., 2006; Wu et l., 2007; Gutiérrez, 2010). The A. formosnus, normlly grow t elevtion rnge etween 800 nd 1.500 meter ove se level in Lnyu Islng in Tiwn, Ryukyu Islnd in Jpn nd Chin s Fujin Province (Refish et l., 2015), is n herl plnt widely used s dietry supplement nd folk remedy in Asi (Kun et l., 2011). For helth purposes, it cn e pplied s heptoprotection (Du et l., 2003; Wu et l., 2007; Fng et l., 2008), nti-ftigue (Ikeuchi et l., 2005), ntioxidtive (Wng et l., 2002; Wng et l., 2005), nti-hyperglycemi (Shih et l., 2002; Ho et l., 2018), ntihyperliposis (Fng et l., 2008), ntiosteoporosis (Msud et l., 2008), nti-tumor (Shyur et l., 2004; Tseng et l., 2006), nd immune modultion (Kun et l., 2011).

Nowdys due to overcollection from nturl resources, in one hnd nd less conservtion efforts, this orchid is under the thret of extinction (Belitsky, Bersenev, 1999). Therefore, to overcome ll these limittions, to mintin nd prepre the vilility of high qulity of plnting mterils oth for conservtion nd commercil purposes, propgtion of the plnts vi tissue culture works is importntly ddressed. Severl works in in vitro propgtion on Anoectochilus were pulished previously. Severl species of Anoectochilus developed vi the in vitro cultures were A. eltus (Sherif et l., 2012; Sherif et l., 2016; Rj, 2017), A. formosnus (Chng, Chen, 1987; Shiu et l., 2002; Tsy, 2002; Ket et l., 2004; Refish et l., 2015), A. sikkimensis nd A. reglis (Gngprsd et l., 2000), A. roxurghii (Zhng et l., 2015). These works generlly used severl explnt sources such s nodes, internodes, leves nd shoot tips; Murshige nd Skoog (1962; MS) medium used s sic medium; N6-enzyldenine (BA), N6-enzylminopurine (BAP, thidizuron (TDZ), kinetin (Kin), N6-(2-isopentenyl) denine (2-iP), Zetin (Ze), 2,4-diclhorophenoxycetic cid (2.4-D), α-nphthlene cetic cid (NAA), indole-3- cetic cid (IAA), indole-3-utyric cid (IBA), nd 4- mino-3,4,6-trichloro picolinic cid (Pic) pplied s chosen hormones either individully or in comintions; nd citric cid, trisodium citrte, peptone, coconut wter, potto extrct, nd nn pulp utilized s potentil dditives pplied in these cultures. Vried ppliction nd comintion of them stimulted vriedresults, however, ech in vitro culture stge needs specific tretment nd condition. Estlishment of new nd relile protocol route of in vitro propgtion of A. formosnus s min ojective of the study ws successfully determined. The protocol ws initited y culturing shoot tips of A-1 ccession s explnt source for initition nd prolifertion of xillry shoots, followed y plntlet preprtion nd its cclimtiztion. Detil nd interesting finding in ech step were discussed in this pper. Mterils nd Methods Plnting mteril nd its preprtion Mterils used in the study were two ccessions of A. formosnus viz, A-1 nd A-2 ccessions collected y frmer t Jgkrs, Jkrt. The hrvested shoots with 4 5 leves nd 5 7 cm in length derived from the two ccessions were explnts sources utilized in the experiments. Before their steriliztion, the explnts were prepred y cutting leves remining petiole slt prts for 1 2 mm in length. The prepred explnts were redy for steriliztion stge. Explnt Steriliztion nd Preprtion All explnts with short sl prts of petioles were pre-treted y plcing them under running tp wter for 60 minutes (min), followed y immersing them in 1% sop solution for 30 min, 1% pesticide solution (50% enomil nd 20% knmycin sulphte) for 30 min with mnul shking nd then rinsing 4 5 times (@ 3 min ech) using distilled wter until ll remin disinfection mterils totlly removed. The explnts were then rought to lminr ir flow cinet for steriliztion. They were soked in 0.05% mercury chloride (HgCl 2 ) solution dded y 5 drops of Tween 20 for 5 min, followed y rinsing them with sterile distilled wter (SDW) 2 times (@ 3 min ech) with mnul shking. The remining petiole slt prts were then removed crefully using tissue culture lde. The shoot tips with one short node nd the third node were sliced nd put in different 25 ml Erlenmeyers contining 5 ml SDW. After ll explnts successfully prepred, ll shoot tip nd node explnts were further sterilized using 0.01% HgCl 2 for 3 min nd rinsed with SDW 4 6 times (@ 3 min ech) with the sme tretment. The explnts were then cultured in different initition medi. Culture medi Bsic medi used in the study were full strength MS medium nd hlf strength MS medium. All medi components oth mcro, micro nd vitmin were from Merck (Drmstdt, Germny), BAP nd NAA from Sigm-Aldrich (Drmstdt, Germny), Swllow gr (Jkrt-Indonesi). Initition, prolifertion nd rooting medi were prepred y mixing stock solution of mcro, micro, Fe chelte, nd vitmin. The ph of medi ws djusted to 5.8 using Model 420A ph meter of Thermo Orion (Beverly, USA) using 1N NOH or HCl. After ph djustment, the medi were dded y 30 g l -1 sucrose (except s tretment) nd 7 g l -1 Swllow gr; mixed homogenously, oiled, poured in jm ottles (7 cm in dimeter, 13 cm in height; 30 ml medi per ottle) nd sterilized for 20 min t 121ºC nd 15 kp using Pressure Stem Sterilizer Verticl Cylindricl LS. 001, SMIC (Shnghi, Chin). Culture incution Culture incution pplied in the study ws light incution. The light incution ws performed y plcing explnt cultures under cool fluorescent lmps for 12 h photoperiod with ~13 µmol m 2-1 s -1 light intensity. Incution period for ll experiments ws pproximtely 2 months. Effect of explnt types nd initition medi on xillry shoot regenertion nd prolifertion In the step, there were two types of explnts tested i.e. shoot tips nd nodes. While initition medi (IM) pplied in the study were MS medium contining (1) 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.5 mg l -1 NAA (IM-1), (2) 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.25 mg l -1 NAA (IM-2), (3) 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.1 mg l -1 NAA (IM-3), (4) 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.05 mg l -1 NAA (IM-4) nd (5) 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.025 mg l -1 NAA (IM-5).

The protocol cn lso complete nd improve other studies pulished previously (Chng, Chen, 1987; Shiu et l., 2002; Ket et l., 2004; Refish et l., 2015). Results of the study cn lso e utilized s comprison method nd improving ides for other Anoectochilus in vitro studies of A. sikkimensis nd A. reglis (Gngprsd et l., 2000), A. roxurgii (Zhng et l., 2015), A. eltus (Sherif et l., 2012; Sherif et l., 2016; Rj, 2017). Successful initition stge in in vitro culture of plnt will led to high potentil in chieving the next step. Ket et l. (2004) recorded tht high xillry shoots derived from shoot tip explnts up to 11.2 shoots per explnt with 3.8 cm shoot length of A. formosnus ws estlished on Hyponex medium supplemented with 2 mg l -1 TDZ nd 1.0 g l -1 AC, while lower results down to 5.0 7.8 shoots were recorded on MS medium contining 3 mg l -1 BA nd 0.5 mg l -1 NAA (Chng, Chen, 1987). In the study, MS medium contining 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.25 mg l -1 NAA s potentil medium ws improved y decresing concentrtion of BAP from 1.5 to 1.25 mg l -1 to produce 7.0 xillry shoots per explnt with 1.0 cm shoot height nd 9.8 leves per explnt derived from shoot tips of A-1 ccession of A. formosnus. While in other studies, 5.6 shoots per explnt of A. reglis nd 4.5 shoot per explnt of A. sikkimensis were successfully regenerted on Woody Plnt Medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l -1 BAP (Gngprsd et l., 2000), 2.7 shoots per explnt with 2.2 cm shoot length of A. eltus were recorded on MS medium fortified y 1.0 mg l -1 BA (Sherif et l., 2012), 7 shoots per explnt with 6.2 cm shoot length on MS medium 2.5 mg l -1 TDZ nd 5% CW (Rj, 2017); 1 10 shoots per explnt nd 0.5 4.0 cm shoot length of A. roxurghii ws noted on MS medium fortified y 0.2 mg l -1 2,4-D, 0.9 mg l -1 NAA, 1 mg l -1 BA, 0.25 mg l -1 Zetin, 0.6% gr nd 4.5% sucrose (Refish et l., 2015), high prolifertion rte of shoots up to 4.33 on hlf-strength MS medium fortified y 3.0 mg l -1 BA, 1.0 mg l -1 Kinetin, 0.5 mg l -1 NAA nd dditives (Zhng et l., 2015). Shoot rooting ws importnt step in prepring high successful cclimtiztion of plntlets. In the study, high root formtion with 2.4 roots per shoot nd 1.0 cm root length of A-1 ccession of A. formosnus ws estlished on Hyponex medium (2 g l -1 20N:20P:20K) contining 150 ml l -1 CW. Almost similr results with 2.3 roots per shoot nd 2.5 cm root length were noted on Hyponex medium with 2% sucrose AC free (Ket et l., 2004). In other Anoectochilus species, 4.3 roots per shoot nd 2.2 cm in length of roots of A. eltus were recorded on MS medium contining 0.3 g l -1 AC (Sherif et l., 2012), 3.2 roots per shoot with 2.1 cm root length on Mitr medium mended with 1.0 mg l -1 AgNO 3 (Sherif et l., 2016), 86.6% root formtion nd 4.4 cm root length on MS medium fortified y 7.0 mg l -1 IBA (Rj, 2017).

In other Anoectochilus species, 95% survivl plntlets of A. sikkimensis nd 70% for A reglis were recorded t loose humic rich soil fter 12 months (Gngprsd et l., 2000), 100% survivility ws proved in greenhouse fter 4 weeks (Ket et l., 2004); 80% survivility of A. eltus cclimtized plntlets ws noted on coconut choir, AC nd commercil fertilizers (3:1:1, v/v/v) (Sherif et l., 2012), 72.3% survivl rte ws noted t mixture of grden soil, snd, vermicompost nd te wste (8:4:2:1) (Sherif et l., 2016). 88% survivl plntlets were oserved in Kulivlvu regions of Kolli Hill fter 60 dys (Rj, 2017). Wheres high survivl rte up to 90.2% of A. roxurghii plntlets ws noted on plstic cups continning sterile snd nd pet soil mixture in rtio of 1:2 tht their surfces were covered y live moss (Zhng et l., 2015). Specific ehviour of ech explnt nd genotype on different types of culture medi in in vitro culture of A. formosnus ws lso successfully reveled in the study. Shoot tip ws more responsive thn node explnt; A-1 ccession etter thn A-2 ccession. The two explnts nd ccessions of A. formosnus indicted different growth nd performnces in ech step of culture. Ket et l. (2004) lso found the similr results in A. formosnus tht shoot tip explnts produced higher xillry shoots thn the node explnts. In A. eltus, node explnt ws more productive thn shoot tip explnts on shoot regenertion (Sherif et l., 2012), internode > node > lef explnts on cllus prolifertion nd regenertion (Sherif et l., 2016). Gngprsd et l. (2000) recorded tht node explnt of A. reglis hd high numer nd fster growth of shoots thn node derived from A. sikkimensis. Conclusions The seril experiments crried out in the study were successfully estlished n in vitro propgtion protocol for A, formosnus vi xillry shoot regenertion nd prolifertion. In the initil step, shoot tips s explnt sources nd MS medium contining 1.5 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.25 mg l -1 NAA were determined s high potentil explnt nd medium for xillry shoot regenertion for A-1 nd A-2 ccessions of A. formosnus. High xillry shoot production up to 7.0 shoots per explnt with 1.0 cm shoot height nd 9.8 leves per explnt derived from hoot tip explnts of A-1 ccession ws resulted in MS medium supplemented with 1.25 mg l -1 BAP nd 0.25 mg l -1 NAA. The regenerted shoots were esily rooted on Hyponex medium (2 g l -1 20N:20P:20K) contining 150 ml l -1 CW with 2.4 roots per shoot nd 1.0 cm root length of A-1 ccession. The well growth plntlets were successfully cclimtized on plstic oxes contining mixture of urned rice-husk nd orgnic mnure (1:1, v/v) with survivl rte s high s 90.4 %. In ll step of in vitro culture of A. formosnus it ws lso reveled tht A-1 ccession showed higher response compred to A-2 ccession.
