Different parts of pseudobulbs, plant growth regulators and their concentrations were used to study the effects on shoots regeneration from pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers. The thickness of pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers were also used for explants for comparing the browning rate and the number of shoots. Orthogonal design was used to study the effects of BA and NAA for shoots micropropagation. The micropropagated shoots were cultured on a medium for being strong and rooting prior to transplanting to soil. The results showed that:Position of pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers significantly affected shoot induction. Lower part of pseudobulbs were significant easier to induce shoots than upper part and middle part. TDZ and BA also had obvious effect on shoot induction. NAA had no obvious effect on shoot induction. Lower parts of pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers cultured on basic medium+2.0 mg·L-1 BA+1.0 mg·L-1 TDZ for 4 weeks was the optimal treatment to induce shoots. The induction rate was 93.3% and the number of shoots was 15. Pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers(1.6-2.0 mm in thickness) were scarcely browning. Basic medium+1.5 mg·L-1 BA+0.3 mg·L-1 NAA was the optimal medium for micropropagation. The multiplication factor was 4.3, and the length of shoots was 7.8 cm. Shoots regenerated directly from pseudobulb transverse thin cell layers and micropropagation system of B.striata was established successfully, which laid a foundation for innovation of germplasm resources. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2020.03.007
