TISSUE-CULTURE STUDIES FOR MICROPROPAGATION AND EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL
OILS FROM ZINGIBER-OFFICINALE ROSC
ILAHI I; JABEEN M
Abstract:
Callus cultures of Zingiber officinale obtained from rhizome explants
bearing shoot primordia and juve nile shoots on Murashige and Skoog
basal medium supplemented with various growth hormones produced
plantlets which were transferred in the field. Multiple plantlet
formation occurred in two week old shoot buds. Essential oils extracted
from callus cultures, from rhizomes obtained from our experimental
medicinal plants garden and commercial rhizomes showed only slight
difference in the oil contents.
