Abstract
Clonal propagation of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) was achieved by in vitro culture using buds from rhizomes in storage on a medium consisting of Murashige-Skoog major elements, Ringe-Nitsch minor elements and vitamins, 2% sucrose, and 1 ppm 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). Numerous adventitious shoots with roots were produced by repeated subculture of individual plantlets on 1 ppm BA medium. Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to a mixture of 2 peat:1 sponge rock:1 vermiculite in the greenhouse and eventually to full sun in the nursery.
