Abstract
Buds of rhizomes from greenhouse grown galanga plants were excised and propagated clonally through tissue culture. The medium consisted of M urashige and Skoog (MS) salts, vitamins, 2% sucrose and 2 mg/L 6-benzy laminopurine (BA). Adventitious and axillary shoots were produced by r epeated subculture at 4-week intervals. The rate of increase per expla nt was calculated conservatively to be four plants per plant per 4-wee k cycle.
