This study looks at how microbes around the roots affect the growth of tissue-cultured Anoectochilus roxburghii (also known as golden thread orchid). Some helpful bacteria, called PGPR, and certain fungi can make it easier for plants to use nutrients in the soil. As a result, the plants grow bigger and produce more ginsenosides, which are valuable compounds. A fungus called Mortierella alpina also helps by stopping harmful germs from spreading, which lowers the chance of disease and keeps the plant healthy. The study also tried mixing PGPR, good fungi, and organic fertilizer. This mix helped the plants grow better and reduced the need for chemical fertilizers, which is better for the soil and environment. In the future, researchers can study more about how these microbes and plants work together. This could help improve how we grow golden thread orchid and support more eco-friendly farming.
