ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of different factors on induction of microtubers in Zingiber officinale. These factors included NAA, PP333, 6-BA and sucrose.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Orthogonal design and plant tissue culture technique were used.</p><p><b>RESULT AND CONCLUSION</b>Sucrose was the most important factor on the induction of microtubers, followed by PP333 and NAA. 6-BA was the factor which restrained the formation of microtubers. The optimal media to induce microtubers was MS + NAA 1.0 mg x L(-1) + PP333 0.2 mg x L(-1) + sucrose 8%.</p>
