Invitro propagation of kaempferia galanga using rhizome

A protocol was standardized for the rapid propagation Kaempferia galanga using rhizome. The medium used was MS medium with auxin (IAA, IBA) and cytokinin (BA). Of these maximum shoots were produced when cultured with MS medium containing 1.0mg/l BA and 0.1mg/l IAA. Maximum shoots were produced by sub culturing in two weeks of sub culturing in the same medium. Regenerated plants were acclimatized and established on soil with eighty five percent success.
