ABSTRACT
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the oriental spices, widely used worldwide for multiple purposes. It is applied as an important ingredient in Ayurvedic preparations from time immemorial. Tissue culture is a practice that is utilized to propagate plants from cells or tissue under sterile conditions. This study is directed to create a review of the successful and reproducible convention for in vitro recovery of ginger with emphasis on effective initial culture establishment. Furthermore, it has dealt with the appropriate explant size and effectiveness of media quality on micropropagation of ginger. The current study recommends that the medium containing Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) can be used for inducing shoot development of ginger. Among the diverse explants, shoot tips give the quickest response for starting development and the highest number of multiple shoots are produced. As well, it is demonstrated that a survival rate and proper shoot/root expansion can be obtained through the tissue culture methods. Emphasizing the tips and recommendations, this study would be a route-map towards time and cost saving for producing a better quality of ginger.
