Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) was propagated through tissue culture using axillary buds and shoot tips as explants.
Shoot tips gave the best results and emerged as suitable explants for ginger culture establishment.
The best response for shoot multiplication was obtained on MS basal medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BAP for shoot tips (5.1 shoots/explants) and axillary buds (4.0 shoots/explants). Best rooting media were: MS supplemented with IBA 1 mg/L (7.0 roots/explants) for micro shoots and MS containing IBA 0.5 mg/L (6.2 roots/explants) for shoot tips and axillary buds.
The regenerated shoots were acclimatized successfully on a peat medium.
