Micropropagation and cytogenetic assessment of Zingiber species of Northeast India

Abstract: An improved micropropagation protocol was developed for Zingiber moran and Z. zerumbet, two wild species of the genus Zingiber, found in Northeast India. The effects of growth regulators, sugar concentrations, and nutrients were tested on the rate of shoot initiation and multiplication. An increase in proliferation and multiplication occurred in modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyladenine and kinetin. About 2 % sucrose and 0.7 % agar were found to be the optimum for shoot multiplic… Show more

“…Maximum frequency of shoot formation (78.3 %), with a mean of 9.3 shoots per explant was obtained on MS medium fortified with 8.0 µM BA. The positive effect of BA on shoot formation has also been reported in various plants such as Ajuga reptans (Preece and Huetteman 1994 ), ginger (Das et al 2013 ), Moringa oleifera (Saini et al 2012 ) and Scrophularia takesimensis (Jeong and Sivanesan 2015 ). Of the various concentrations of TDZ studied, maximum number of shoots (8.5) was obtained on MS medium fortified with 2.0 µM TDZ.…”

“…Profuse callus was produced at the basal cut end of shoots which inhibits the growth and elongation of roots when full strength MS medium was used. Half strength MS medium was preferred over full strength medium in many systems for root induction (Das et al 2013). Although we used three auxins (NAA, IBA and IAA) for root induction, the rooting response was optimum in IBA containing medium.…”
