In vitro culture of Curcuma mangga from rhizome bud
Curcuma mangga is one of the important and valuable medicinal crops of the family Zingiberaceae. This species also has a high potential for essential oil. An efficient protocol for the micropropagation of C. mangga followed by successful acclimatization to soil was developed.
The aseptic rhizome buds were cultured onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP, IAA and NAA for 10 weeks.
