Zhang Z.Y., Wang L.J., and Fan X.Q., 2024, Study on the correlation between the physiological characteristics of Dendrobium officinale and optimal cultivation conditions, Medicinal Plant Research, 14(4): 234-244 (doi: 10.5376/mpr.2024.14.0020)

This study explores the correlation between the physiological characteristics of Dendrobium officinale and its cultivation conditions, with a focus on analyzing the effects of environmental factors such as temperature, light intensity, and nutrient supply on growth rate, photosynthetic efficiency, and accumulation of active compounds in D. officinale. The study found that appropriate light and potassium treatments significantly increase anthocyanin content, enhancing the plant’s metabolic properties. Additionally, the application of mycorrhizal fungi improved D. officinale’s resistance to drought and disease, effectively enhancing growth quality. Case analysis further indicated that pine bark substrate exhibits a high potential for flavonoid accumulation, and different cultivation modes (such as greenhouse and bionic cultivation) also impact the active components of D. officinale in varying ways. This study provides a scientific basis for sustainable cultivation of D. officinale, revealing approaches to optimize cultivation conditions to further enhance its medicinal value in clinical applications.
