CALLUS INDUCTION AND PLANT REGENERATION FROM ADVENTITIOUS BUDS OF GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSC.)

摘要

Young buds of Zingiber officinale (Rose) Cv. Humnabad (a variety grown in Northern Karnataka, India) were used for the initiation of callus growth on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of NAA and BAP. The percentage of callus formationand average weight of callus were obtained from young buds cultured on medium supplemented with MS + 1 mg/L NAA. Shoots were successfully regenerated on the medium with concentrations of MS +lmg/L NAA +0.1 mg/ 1 BAP. The rooted shoots were successfullyacclimatized in the green house conditions.
