Tissue Culture and Rapid Propagation of Hezhou Ginger
[Objective] To study the tissue culture and rapid propagation technology of Hezhou ginger and provide technical support for large -scale production. [Method] Hezhou ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc. ) buds were used as explants. The effects of different disinfectants and hor-monal combinations on contamination rate,bud differentiation and rooting were studied. [Result] The disinfection efficiency of explants were bet-ter with 0.1% HgCl2 for 12 min. The optimal medium for bud differentiation was MS+2.0 mg/ L6 -BA +0.1 mg/L NAA. The best medium for rooting was 1/2MS + 1.0 mg/L NAA,and the rooting rate was up to 100%. [Conclusion] The tissue culture and rapid propagation technology can be used for large-scale production of Hezhou ginger.
