Popis: Two species of Curcuma (C. caesia and C. zedoaria) have been propagated through tissue culture using rhizome bud explant. The best response for shoot multiplication was obtained on MS basal medium supplemented with 4 mg l−1 BAP and 1.5 mg l−1 NAA for C. caesia (3.5 ± 0.79 shoots per explant) and 1 mg l−1 BAP + 0.5 mg l−1 NAA for C. zedoaria (4.5 ± 0.15 shoots per explant). A maximum of 9.2 ± 0.15 and 8.9 ± 0.09 roots per explant were obtained for C. caesia and C. zedoaria, respectively when MS was supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 IAA. The rooted plants could be established in soil.
