Rapid micropropagation of Curcuma longa using bud explants pre-cultured in thidiazuron-supplemented liquid medium
Multiple shoots of Curcuma longa were induced by culture of bud explants for 1 week in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 72.64 mu M thidiazuron (TDZ) prior to culture on MS gelled medium without growth regulator for 8 weeks. The regeneration rate was up to 11.4 plus or minus 1...

Zusammenfassung: | Multiple shoots of Curcuma longa were induced by culture of bud explants for 1 week in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 72.64 mu M thidiazuron (TDZ) prior to culture on MS gelled medium without growth regulator for 8 weeks. The regeneration rate was up to 11.4 plus or minus 1.7 shoots/explant. Rooting was spontaneous and the regenerated plants were successfully transferred to soil. This protocol can be an alternative for rapid micropropagation of C. longa used for phytomedicine raw material production. |
