The regeneration rate was up to 11.4 ± 1.7 shoots/explant. Rooting was spontaneous and the regenerated plants were successfully transferred to soil. This protocol can be an alternative for rapid micropropagation of C. longa used for phytomedicine raw material production.Mahidol UniversityAgricultural and Biological SciencesArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s11240-004-1020-x
