(240411) -- BEIJING, April 11, 2024 (Xinhua) -- The germination of the seeds of Cypripedium flavum is seen at the Lijiang Alpine Botanic Garden in Lijiang, southwest China's Yunnan Province, March 27, 2024. Lijiang Alpine Botanic Garden of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is located in the Yulong Snow Mountain. With an elevation difference of about 1 kilometer, seeds could be conserved under favorable conditions in this area. As the director of the botanic garden, Xu Kun is specialized in plant resources and conservation biology. Recently, in the lab, Xu has observed that the seeds of Cypripedium flavum germinated three months ahead of schedule, which made him feel excited. This means that following experiments could be carried out sooner. The seed germination conditions of endangered Cypripedium are usually strict, and there are few new seedlings each year. After years of research, Xu and his team have obtained the aseptic germination technique of seeds of 4 Cypripedium species, whic
