Stages of orchid seed germination according to Yamazaki and Miyoshi (2006)

Germination stageIndicators
Stage 0‘No germination’ stage. No growth of embryo occurs.
Stage 1‘Pre-germination’ stage. Embryo swells to fill the seed coat.
Stage 2‘Germination’ stage. Embryo emerges from the seed coat.
Stage 3‘Protocorm’ stage. Embryo is completely discharged from the seed coat.
Stage 4‘Rhizoid’ stage. Rhizoids are formed on the protocorm surface.
Stage 5‘Shoot’ stage. Shoot is diferentiated from the protocorm.
