“…Although explants showed a fair response to individual cytokinins used, the combinations of two regular cytokinins (BA and Kn) were found to be ideal for shoot multiplication (Table 2). Similar results were found by Anish et al (2008) in Bosenbergia pulcherrima , a threatened ginger. However, persistence of explants in culture media containing higher concentration of cytokinins suppressed shoot elongation in present study which is contrary to what has been reported by other researchers who used rather high concentrations of plant growth regulators for the multiple shoot formation for some of the Zingiberaceae species (Khatun et al 2003; Chan and Thong 2004; Bharalee et al 2005; Sultana et al 2009).…”

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 multiplication and regeneration. Naphthalene acetic acid at 0.5 mg/L produced the best rooting response for both the species. Regenerated plantlets were acclimatized successfully and cytogenetic stability was confirmed by RAPD profiling and ploidy checks.

Volatile oil from the rhizomes of Curcuma haritha Mangaly and Sabu from the Western Ghats, southern India, was isolated by hydrodistillation and characterized by a combination of GC-FID, GC-MS, co-GC, database and literature search, linear retention indices, prep. TLC, IR, NMR and MS. Refractive index, specific rotation and specific gravity of C. haritha rhizome oil were measured. Fifty constituents, comprising 99.9% of C. haritha rhizome oil, were identified, of which monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes constituted 7.7%, 72.0%, 1.9% and 18.2%, respectively. Camphor (36.0%), 1,8-cineole (13.9%), isoborneol (10.6%), camphene (5.7%) and linalool (4.7%) were the major monoterpenes, while curdione (6.9%), furanogermenone (3.3%) and germacrone (2.8%) were the major sesquiterpenoids in C. haritha rhizome oil. Camphor and curdione were quantified by external standardization.
