ILAHI I; JABEEN M
Abstract

---

Callus cultures of Zingiber officinale obtained from rhizome explants bearing shoot primordia and juve nile shoots on Murashige and Skoog basal medium supplemented with various growth hormones produced plantlets which were transferred in the field. Multiple plantlet formation occurred in two week old shoot buds. Essential oils extracted from callus cultures, from rhizomes obtained from our experimental medicinal plants garden and commercial rhizomes showed only slight difference in the oil contents.
