Synthetic seed technology offers tremendous potential in micropropagation. It deals with in vitro conservation and storage of rare and endangered plant species along with their easy handling and transportation. This technology is becoming prevelant due to its wide applications in germplasm conservation and for exchanges between countries in floricultural trade. The present study examines the regeneration and conversion capabilities of Cymbidium aloifolium using protocorm-like bodies when stored at different temperatures. The propagules showed high proliferative potential by multiplication and complete plantlets were obtained in 58 days on basal M medium supplemented with 1 mg l–1 of indole-3-acetic acid.
